Blackberry Defeats Typo In Court, Typo To Discontinue Sales of Keyboard

Posted by timothy on from the one-way-or-another-it's-over dept.

New submitter juniorkindergarten writes: Blackberry and Typo have reached a final settlement that effectively ends Typo selling its iPhone keyboard accessory. Blackberry took Typo to court for twice for patent infringement over the copying of Blackberry's keyboard design. Blackberry and Typo first battled it out in court, with Typo losing for copying the Blackberry Q10 keyboard design. Typo redesigned its keyboard, and again Blackberry sued them for patent infringement. The final result is that Typo cannot sell keyboards for screens less than 7.9", but can still sell keyboards for the iPad and iPad air. Exact terms were not disclosed.

    They reached a settlement agreement. BB did not defeat Typo "in court."

    Isn't this kind of like the First Officer on the Titanic winning an argument with a passenger over a deck chair.
