RIM, NTP SETTLE FOR $612 MILLION: Research In Motion announced late
March 3 that it has settled its patent dispute with NTP Inc. RIM will
make a "full and final" payment of US$612.5 million in return for an
unlimited transferable licence for NTP technology. The agreement,
which has been accepted by Judge James Spencer, will stand even if
NTP's patents are ultimately rejected by the U.S. patent office.

** RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie said the agreement will bring "calmness
and comfort to our ecosystem." Following the announcement, RIM
shares jumped 14.5% in after-hours trading.
