RIM was strongarmed into this settlemtent by a Judge who was sick of the case and cared little that the Patent office's indication that the Patents would be invalidated. I agree this is nothing more than legalized extortion and we ALL pay in the long run.

A jury found RIM guilty of patent infringment. The judge was simply tired of RIM failing to comply with the sentence imposed on them when they were foung guilty. So were most of us I think. RIM probably lost way more than $612M in the years they spent trying to avoid paying for what they stole.
