Keep in mind that as part of their agreement, NTP now owns a portion of Good Technology, so obviously there is a financial and competitive interest in the NTP vs RIM case.

the CFO of Macromedia just joined our Board of Directors

I'm pretty sure that she will not have her position too much longer at Macromedia, to be perfectly honest. Considering the Adobe acquisition of Macromedia just finalized last week, her three-letter title should be obsolete at some point in the near-term.

NTP also now has a financial interest in Visto, one of our few remaining competitors with Intellisync being acquired. It is called hedging your bets. Besides, in the rank of the companies that have invested in Good, I am of the opinion NTP is at the bottom of the pecking order. Obviously, I am not in the 'circle of trust' as it relates to these things, however, I do know our other investors and how much they put in the kitty. Yes, they do have a financial incentive, but their financial incentive is MUCH larger in what RIMM gives them.

NTP's lead attorney uses a BB. Talk about irony:

And, to quote from a post on the article:
"Distilling the editorial down, the main point the writers are trying to make is to ask why patent law- which is supposed to encourage innovation- is seemingly being trumped by what the writers call "a lawyer angling for settlement."
