Unfortunately RIM is a great target for these patent trolls as they have enough money to pay damages, but not nearly enough to go on the offensive against these parasites.
"The company claimed it had disclosed details of the technology to RIM during licensing discussions. After declining to take a license, the BlackBerry maker modified its software to include the patented systems, Mformation said in its complaint."
Surely the standard procedure for a patent troll is: Find company doing whatever-it-is; get in touch with them and say "We think you're using our IP; how about licensing it from us?"; talk to them; either license or sue.
However, as it happens it doesn't appear that Mformation are pure patent trolls; they do actually sell software.
Seems to not agree with what you think happened:
Find company doing whatever-it-is; get in touch with them and say "We think you're using our IP; how about licensing it from us?"; talk to them; either license or sue.
