Blackberry lovers, do you remember back in December 2009 when RIM was under investigation by the ITC (International Trade Commission) because then-unknown American company Prism Technologies claimed RIM infringed on one of their patents? Namely number 288, which “covers an innovative way of controlling access to protected electronically stored data and information requested by a device using an internet protocol network.” Prism wanted to see all shipments of Blackberry devices and its proprietary software blocked until the matter was settled.

Today, Bloomberg news is reporting that the case has been settled, out of court, and though no financial terms were disclosed, a “license and settlement” agreement has been reached.
