Typo agrees to stop selling BlackBerry-like keyboards
Phone accessory maker Typo Products has stopped manufacturing and selling iPhone keyboards that resemble a BlackBerry keyboard. These are keyboards for mobile devices with a screen diagonal of up to 7.9″.
The Canadian smartphone maker writes this on its site on Monday. Typo may continue to sell keyboards for devices with a screen diagonal of 7.9″ or larger. The rest of the agreement is undisclosed and confidential.
Typo was sued for the second time by Blackberry in February. An earlier case against the maker of the Typo keyboard cases was also won by BlackBerry, because the company’s first version of an iPhone case infringed on BlackBerry technology and design.
The modified iPhone 6 model would not infringe on patents, something BlackBerry disagreed. The judge ruled in favor of the Canadians.
