Research In Motion is the latest company to be sued by patent licensing company Wi-LAN Inc. The latter accuses RIM of infringing one of its Bluetooth technology patents, U.S. Patent No. 6,260,168.
Wi-LAN did not provide any further details, including what damages if any it was seeking from RIM.
Wi-LAN has also recently launched infringement lawsuits against Apple and HTC among others over LTE patents.
Update: Wi-LAN’s lawsuit is looking for both unspecified financial damages as well as preliminary and permanent injunctions against RIM’s smartphones and PlayBook tablet.
