对,而且Oracle打不赢这个官司的,因为这个官司的可笑程度相当于SCO告Linux和IBM。
这次是两个地头蛇在打 ...
这次是两个地头蛇在打,没有一方有太多的地理优势,向上次RIMM的那个injunction也不可能发生,因为有关的法律已近改了。

I don't understand which injunction you meant. I just quickly checked RIMM's all patent litigation from its wiki pages.
Since the turn of the century, RIM has been embroiled in a series of suits relating to alleged patent infringement.[12]
In 2001, Research In Motion sued competitor Glenayre Electronics[13] Inc for patent infringement, partly in response to an earlier infringement suit filed by Glenayre against RIM. RIM sought an injunction to prevent Glenayre from infringing on RIM's "Single Mailbox Integration" patent.[14] The suit was ultimately settled.
In June 2002, Research In Motion filed suit against 2000 start-up and competitor Good Technology.[15] RIM filed additional complaints through-out the year.[16] In March 2004, Good agreed to a licensing deal, thereby settling the outstanding litigation.[17]
On September 16, 2002, Research In Motion was awarded a patent pertaining to keyboard design on hand-held e-mail devices. Upon receiving the patent, it proceeded to sue Handspring over its Treo device.[16][18] Handspring eventually agreed to license RIM's patent and avoid further litigation in November of the same year.[19]
During the appeals, RIM discovered new prior art that raised a "substantial new question of patentability" and filed for a reexamination of the NTP patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. That reexamination was conducted separately to the court cases for infringement. In February 2006, the USPTO rejected all of NTP's claims in three disputed patents. NTP has appealed the decision, and the reexamination process is still outgoing as of July 2006 (See NTP, Inc. for details).
On March 3, 2006, RIM announced that it had settled its BlackBerry patent dispute with NTP. Under the terms of the settlement, RIM has agreed to pay NTP US$612.5 million in a “full and final settlement of all claims.” In a statement, RIM said that “all terms of the agreement have been finalized and the litigation against RIM has been dismissed by a court order this afternoon. The agreement eliminates the need for any further court proceedings or decisions relating to damages or injunctive relief.”[citation needed]

On July 17, 2003, while still embroiled in litigation with NTP and Good Technology, RIM filed suit against Xerox in the U.S. District of Hartford, Connecticut. The suit was filed in response to discussions about patents held by Xerox that might affect RIM's business, and also asks that patents held by Xerox be invalidated.[20]
On May 1, 2006, RIM was sued by Visto for infringement of four patents.[21]
On January 22, 2010, Motorola requested that all BlackBerry smartphones be banned from being imported into the United States for infringing upon five of Motorola's patents. Their patents for "early-stage innovations", including UI, power management and WiFi, are in question.[22]
