Black-Berry-maker Research in Motion said a California judge has overturned a ruling on a patent-infringement case involving mobile device management company Mformation Technologies and vacated a $147.2million US jury award.
"After considering motions presented by both parties as well as the jury verdict, the judge determined that RIM had not infringed on Mformation's patent," RIM said Thursday. RIM added that it is now not required to make any payment to Mformation.
Mformation has the right to appeal the latest ruling. However, RIM said if Mformation successfully appealed the ruling, the jury verdict would not be reinstated and instead a new trial would occur.
