Blackberry appeal rejected by U.S. Supreme Court

Lyle Denniston at SCOTUSblog reports the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to delay a ruling that it infringed on patents for integrating electronic mail with wireless networks.
A Canadian company that makes the hand-held BlackBerry devices, allowing users to get wireless access to e-mail, messaging and Internet links, failed on Wednesday to get a delay of a ruling that it infringed on patents for integrating electronic mail with wireless networks. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., refused, without comment, to temporarily block a Federal Circuit ruling that could lead to a new court order banning sales of BlackBerry devices in the U.S. and stopping wireless e-mail services to BlackBerry users. (Roberts order came in denial of a stay application filed by BlackBerry's maker, Research in Motion, Ltd., application 05-A-357.)
