Kumba writes "As announced here, Palm was granted a stay in their patent suit against NTP. Quote from Mary Doyle, Palm's Senior VP and general counsel: "We are extremely pleased with the Court's decision to grant a stay. We hope and expect that the PTO's review of NTP's patents will confirm the decision of the examiners to reject them all and so avert the need for further litigation of this matter""
