RIM Court Date Set

A U.S. district has set a February 24 court hearing to consider a possible injunction that could shut down Research In Motion Ltd.'s popular BlackBerry in the United States.

According to media reports, District Judge James Spencer in Richmond, Virginia, listed the date on a court docket.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear the case, Judge Spencer will decide if Blackberry sales and service should be shut down in the U.S. because it infringed on patents held by U.S. patent holding company NTP Inc. He will also decide how much RIM should pay NTP Inc. after infringing on its patents.
