Troubled mobile phone maker BlackBerry has decided to make a bit more money by suing those it thinks stole its ideas.
A patent lawsuit has been launched against internet telephony outfit Avaya. However in making its case that Avaya should pay royalties, BlackBerry appears to be looking at what it has done rather than what it is doing. The firm argues that it should be paid for its history of innovation going back nearly 20 years.
"BlackBerry revolutionised the mobile industry. BlackBerry... has invented a broad array of new technologies that cover everything from enhanced security and cryptographic techniques, to mobile device user interfaces, to communication servers, and many other areas."
Nos. 9,143,801 and 8,964,849, relating to "significance maps" for coding video data;
No. 8,116,739, describing methods of displaying messages;
No. 8,886,212, describing tracking location of mobile devices;
No. 8,688,439, relating to speech decoding and compression;
No. 7,440,561, describing integrating wireless phones into a PBX network;
No. 8,554,218, describing call routing methods; and
No. 7,372,961, a method of generating a cryptographic public key.
