In February 2005, RIM secretly acquired a software company in order to ensure that a new technology on how to author and then how to distribute mobile applications could be brought to market without encroaching on Nextair's solid patents. The company signs a deal with Nextair's CEO to keep them confidential, and RIM convinces Nextair to accept. Proof of Acquisition https://www.blackberrycentral.com/news/article/interview-tim-neil/
