I read the patent and I agree. The patent was filed in 1998. Most of their claims were state of the art way before that. They can't claim that fundamental computer addressing principles belong to them just because one of the devices addressed is a pager. It's like the inventor of the bicycle claiming ownership of the wheel, just because the bicycle has wheels and the inventor of the wheel did not file for a patent when the wheel was invented back in the stone age! The patent office nowadays depends on the companies filling for patents to do correctly the search for prior art. The courts resolve problems, if that search was not right, as is obvious in the RIM patent. Ever since the patent rules were relaxed to include software patents, the quality of patents filled in the US has deteriorated dramatically. Kyros
