A few months back (and not for the first time) WiLAN and BlackBerry threw down in a battle over some patents, but today the two shook hands and all is well. WiLAN had filed suit against BlackBerry over LTE-enabled BlackBerry devices, claiming they were infringing on a WiLAN patent.
As a resolution, BlackBerry has obtained a license for the specific patents and the litigation between the two companies is being dismissed. All's well that ends well, eh?
