Some news to surface in London, UK, is that RIM has won a legal battle against Motorola, who filed a complaint with the High Court.

Mr. Justice Richard Arnold at the High Court  invalidated a Motorola patent (which was related to an e-mail gateway system) said that even if it had been valid, it hadn’t been infringed by two communications systems used by RIM.

RIM and Motorola had a license agreement between 2003 to 2007 and after failing to reach terms of a new agreement, the two companies have been regular visitors of the Courts.  Only last month Motorola filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission in Washington, trying to prevent RIM from importing smartphones that Motorola say infringe five patents.  The ITC has not yet agreed to review the case.

Motorola released a short statement relating to the latest judgement, saying they will look into the ruling and then decide whether to file an appeal.
