RIM hit by $147.2 million dollar damages order for BlackBerry patent infringement

Research In Motion has been ordered to pay $147.2 million dollars in damages for infringing a mobile device management patent held by Mformation Technologies.

A jury decided that RIM’s BlackBerry Enterprise Server infringed the patent, which enables companies to update devices ‘over the air’, and awarded damages based on sales of BES-connected BlackBerry smartphones in the USA from late 2008. The award was calculated on sales of 18.4 million handsets and a royalty of $8 per device.
