U.S. Government Enters BlackBerry Patent Fight

An AP newswire article by Stephanie Stoughton, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The U.S. government has inserted itself in a high-stakes patent fight over the popular BlackBerry device, saying it wants to make sure federal workers won't be cut off from mobile access to their e-mail.

The Justice Department filed a "statement of interest" earlier this week to explain how the U.S. government, with as many as 200,000 BlackBerry users, could be harmed if a federal judge in Virginia issues an injunction against Research In Motion Ltd. to stop selling the device and accompanying e-mail service.
