A federal jury in San Francisco has found beleaguered BlackBerry maker Research In Motion liable for $147.2 million in damages for infringing on patents held by Mformation Technologies Inc.

Amar Thakur, a lawyer for Mformation, said Saturday that the verdict late Friday followed a three-week trial and a week of deliberations by an eight-person jury. Thakur is a Foley & Lardner partner based out of the firm’s San Diego – Del Mar office.
