The Supreme Court denied RIM's motion to stay further proceedings in the case until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether it will accept an appeal of the decision in this case. The Supreme Court was not asked to, and did not decide, whether it ultimately will accept an appeal of the decision in this case. Rather, the Supreme Court merely decided that it would follow its normal course of allowing the District Court to decide whether and to what extent to continue the litigation in light of all relevant circumstances, including the prospect that the Supreme Court may decide to hear the case. The process by which the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case is expected to occur over the next few months. While further review by the Supreme Court is generally uncommon, RIM continues to believe this case raises significant national and international issues warranting further appellate review.
