Why BlackBerry Stock Has Almost Doubled in a Week

It's now been one full week since BlackBerry (NYSE: BB) announced that it has settled a patent dispute with Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). To date, no other news has emerged on the details of the agreement, which involved technology used in instant messaging. Both parties are keeping mum, with BlackBerry simply telling Bloomberg, "We have resolved our disputes pursuant to a confidential agreement and have no further comment."
