BlackBerry sued Kik back in 2010 for allegedly infringing on its instant messaging patents. It claimed that Kik made “false and/or misleading statements” and that it caused “confusion” in the market between BBM and Kik. It has now been announced that both parties have settled the patent lawsuit out of court and that there is no legal action pending between both companies. BlackBerry confirms that the case has been dismissed, but doesn't make any comment. Terms of the settlement have not been released.
Kik now has more than 90 million users around the globe, more than BBM's 60 million.
