You haven't been following the case. RIM infringed on a patent and is being sued to put RIM out of business. Now the government is jumping into the fray because the government sunk tons of money into buying RIM equipment. The government doesn't want the plaintiff to prevail against RIM for patent infringement because the government would be holding lots of high tech paperweights if RIM loses the case. Perhaps the solution is to force RIM to pay licensing fees for all the equipment sold to date and all future purchases. The RIM user base may have to suck up a one time charge on the monthly bill to cover licensing the purloined technology.
I think it should come out of the personal assets of the officers of the infringing corporation.
