That may depend on how this turns out :devilboy:
" While the initial catalyst moving Research In Motion was talk of customer dissatisfaction with a new product, the real item pumping up volatility is the impending decision on a patent infringement lawsuit brought by privately held NTP Inc. Whichever way the ruling goes, the stock is likely to make a significant move, because the ramifications are huge.
Research In Motion lost the case the first time in 2002, resulting in an injunction banning BlackBerry sales in the U.S. The injunction was stayed pending the outcome of the appeal, but it's likely to be reinstated if Research In Motion loses. At the time, the company was also required to set aside 8.55% of U.S. sales as a royalty rate for NTP until the case is concluded. Those funds would go back to Research In Motion if it wins the case; that would create the double bonus of a cash windfall and the removal of giant legal question mark. "
