A federal judge has agreed to put off a trial involving Visto's Patent-infringement claims against Research in Motion, but limited RIM's ability to cause further delays. The trial over mobile e-mail provider Visto's lawsuit against RIM had been set to begin next week. Visto sued RIM in 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, claiming its popular BlackBerry system infringed four Visto patents and asking for a shutdown of RIM's service as well as damages. But on Wednesday, Magistrate Judge Charles Everingham granted a stay of the trial, requested by RIM, because several of the Patent claims involved are being re-examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. RIM had requested the re-examinations, in which the Patent office is studying the validity of certain parts of Visto's patents. But as a condition of the stay, the company can't ask for any more re-examinations, either directly or indirectly, the judge wrote. RIM also won't be allowed to challenge the validity of any of the patents during the trial by bringing up evidence that has already been considered in the re-examinations.

Mobile e-mail, based on complex sets of technologies and rapidly growing in popularity, has been fertile ground for Patent ...

Mobile e-mail and calendar vendor Visto has chalked up one legal win as it heads toward a Patent-infringement trial against Research In Motion that is set to begin on Monday. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has validated 21 claims of a Patent that  RIM challenged  after Visto sued the company for Patent infringement in 2006. The  Patent, number 7,039,679 , involves a technology for synchronizing e-mail between a mobile device and a LAN server. It was filed in 2003 and granted to Visto in 2006. [ Get the latest on mobile developments with InfoWorld's Mobile Report newsletter . ] Visto sells software that competes with RIM's push e-mail technology, which synchronizes e-mail to BlackBerry devices. In April 2006 it sued RIM, claiming the dominant mobile e-mail vendor had infringed four of its patents. Visto asked the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for unspecified damages and sought to have RIM's network shut down. Soon afterward, RIM countersued and asked for three of Visto's patents to be invalidated. Visto's original suit is set to go to trial on Monday. Visto is no stranger to the courtroom. Shortly before it sued RIM, it won a  $3.6 million award against rival Seven Networks  in a similar Patent suit. In March, the company settled a suit it had  filed against Microsoft  concerning e-mail technology in Windows Mobile. ...
