Patent-holding company NTP filed suit today against just about every the big name in the mobile devices business — Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), Google (NSDQ: GOOG), Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), HTC, LG (SEO: 066570) and Motorola.
That is, everyone but RIM (NSDQ: RIMM), which already settled with the company for more than $600 million in 2006.
Recognizing that the BlackBerry-maker had already paid up, shareholders pushed the company’s stock up $3.21, or about 6.5 percent, to $52.67 in early afternoon trading.
The suits were filed late Thursday afternoon in federal district court in Richmond, Va., and allege that the the cellphone e-mail systems of those companies are illegally using NTP
