Dolby sues RIM over unlicensed use of its technology

Dolby sues RIM over unlicensed use of its technology

It looks like things aren't going too well for RIM. The company's latest product, the BlackBerry PlayBook hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves, and now the company has just come under fire with a lawsuit from Dolby. Dolby Laboratories has filed a lawsuit against RIM for using Dolby's audio compression technologies in its BlackBerry smartphones and BlackBerry PlayBook without acquiring any proper licenses from the company. Dolby filed the lawsuits in the US and Germany, seeking financial damages for past use and injunctions to stop the sales of unlicensed RIM devices in the countries.

Ubergizmo
