RIM’s latest blow comes in the form of losing a patent lawsuit regarding infringing on another firm’s remote management system for wireless devices. Towards that end, while the company is reportedly sitting on $2 billion in cash, a $147 million legal settlement could not have come at a worse time. In sum, this just adds insult to injury (regarding their current woes) aside from the negative PR and compounding the piling on effect on (what has to be) an already demoralized workforce. They’re clearly not catching a break and seem to be on a very short-leash for turning their fortunes around (if that’s even possible at this juncture?)
