53. As a result of the wrongful acts of the Defendant, as described herein, RIM has suffered and will continue to suffer serious and irreparable harm, as well as serious and substantial damages.
While I think it's fair that RIM protect its BBM patents, I think that Kik has brought more interest to BlackBerry than anything else in recent memory.
Most people I know are behind Kik, some going as far as to say that they won't ever purchase a RIM product (again). So in that sense, RIM's actions against Kik may bring themselves more harm in the end.
