But what's really interesting about the case isn't the technical litigation, but the underlying attempt to define how much of a product's design is actually protected under existing, fragmented international laws.

    Has RIM's BlackBerry had its day in the enterprise?

    They were once ubiquitous in the workplace, as much a symbol of executive status as the gold standard in enterprise mobile communications.
