CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – January 27, 2012 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on WiLAN v Research In Motion

WiLAN, a Canadian patent licensing, non-operating entity, has sued struggling Canadian Blackberry producer Research In Motion over patent infringement. Again. Is WiLAN trying to recover its losses from a failed hostile takeover of fellow patent licensor Mosaid? Or, are they trying to “bring value to industry and consumers” by asserting one patent that was passed along to at least four different owners before it was ever owned by WiLAN, and asserting another that claims rights to a keyboard?

M·CAM’s Patently Obvious® is a weekly report providing visibility into potentially unconsidered alternatives, including art in the public domain, to patent holdings across a variety of technology areas.
