<font size=2>The Supreme Court was not asked to, and did not decide, whether it ultimately will accept an appeal of the decision in this case.  Rather, the Supreme Court merely decided that it would follow its normal course of allowing the District Court to decide whether and to what extent to continue the litigation in light of all relevant circumstances, including the prospect that the Supreme Court may decide to hear the case.

RIM also expects NTP to ask the District Court to enter a new injunction prohibiting RIM from providing BlackBerry service and from using, selling, manufacturing or importing its handhelds and software in the United States.  RIM expects the District Court will schedule briefings or hearings prior to deciding each of these matters. While RIM maintains that an injunction is inappropriate given the facts of the case and substantial doubts raised subsequent to trial as to the validity of the patents in
question, it ultimately will be up to the Courts to decide these matters and there can never be an assurance of a favorable outcome in any litigation.  If a further injunction is granted to NTP and RIM is not able to promptly vacate, stay or overturn the injunction, provide services or products outside the scope of the NTP patents, or conclude a license with NTP on reasonable terms: (a) RIM may be unable to continue to export or make available for sale its wireless handhelds and software into the United States and/or make available BlackBerry service to users in the United States, which is the largest market for RIM's products and services; and (b) the Company may have to terminate the contractual arrangements with its customers, carriers and resellers in the United States, and the Company could be subject to claims for any losses incurred or claims against such customers, carriers and resellers.   </font></p>
