WP Canada and the Balckberry

The Washington Post had a story on Tuesday about the Canadian government objecting to the extra-territorial patent claim implications of the decision in the RIM v NTP patent infringement case.

"RIM claims its BlackBerry relay server - through which all e-mails pass - is based in Waterloo, Ontario, so U.S. patent laws have no jurisdiction, even though most of its 2 million subscribers are below the 49th parallel."

And the Canadian government agree with them.
