Court rules against Blackboard in patent fight
Learning management system giant ‘disappointed’ with appeals court ruling after lengthy legal battle with Desire2Learn
Scott Testa, a marketing professor at St. Joseph’s University who tracks education technology trends, said Blackboard’s aggressive approach to developing a reliable product and marketing among colleges and universities of every size has paid dividends. Securing patents, he said, is a key to beating out smaller competitors who market similar products.

Nortel is selling off its valuable wireless units to Nokia Siemens as it dismantles its bankrupt operations. Nortel was a high flyer during the dot-com boom days but was unable to weather the telecom industry tailspin. The global recession was the final straw for the beleaguered company.
The fact that Nortel found a buyer — and at this particular price point — is indeed noteworthy, Scott Testa, a professor of marketing 
at St. Joseph’s University, told the E-Commerce Times.
“It is a crowded space right now that has been undergoing a severe consolidation for a while. So yes, the value is there, I would agree with that.”
Still, Testa couldn’t help but note “how low the mighty have fallen.”
