TORONTO/NEW YORK: BlackBerry Ltd said a licensing deal it signed with low-end Android handset maker BLU Products Inc will bring it recurring revenue, ending a legal dispute over patents that rival Google has asked the US government to revoke. 

BlackBerry did not disclose financial terms and its shares were little changed after the news, rising 0.5% in late Thursday morning Nasdaq trade.
