RIM sues Samsung
Research in Motion has launched a lawsuit against rival phone maker Samsung, says the IDG News Service. Creators of phones such as the BlackBerry Pearl, RIM insists that Samsung's new BlackJack and Black Carbon phones violate the BlackBerry trademark. "Samsung is misleading the public into falsely believing that Samsung’s goods and services are connected with RIM’s business," reads a filing submitted Friday to the US District Court for the Central District of California. If RIM wins its suit, production of the Samsung phones will cease and RIM will be rewarded unspecified damages.
