BlackBerry Sues iPhone Keyboard Maker Typo
judgecorp writes "Typo Products, which makes a physical keyboard for the iPhone 5 and 5S is being sued by BlackBerry. The firm — co-founded by media personality Ryan Seacrest — provides an iPhone case which includes a physical keyboard, whose keys are sculpted very like those of a classic BlackBerry phone. 'From the beginning, BlackBerry has always focused on offering an exceptional typing experience that combines a great design with ergonomic excellence. We are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smartphones, but we will not tolerate such activity without fair compensation for using our intellectual property and our technological innovations,' said Steve Zipperstein, BlackBerry’s General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer."
So what.
Huh. Pretty funny. If it was Apple suing, you'd be all supportive. I mean look at that phone, it has a touch screen, charges over USB and has a backdoor for the NSA. Those are obviously Apple original only features, magically invented by Apple, doesn't even matter if it's patented. Apple wins, case dismissed.
the BB10 line of phone is the worst "innovation" in mobile technology, maybe of all time
You're a moron, shouting your idiotic opinion, based on some BS articles you read on the internet.
You know what's the worst "innovation" in mobile technology? The keyboard on iOS 7. Where the keys don't change when you are typing caps vs lower case.
