  • Abstract
    In NTP Incorporated v. Research In Motion Incorporated, the Federal Circuit (the US court of appeals for all patent cases) took a look at whether operators of transnational electronic systems with some components in the US and some in other countries can be held liable for patent infringement. The NTP case involved the defendant, Research In Motion´s (RIM´s) BlackBerry electronic mail system, which has customers in the US and important parts of the system in Canada.
