Blackberry gets a small win in a world of losses against Apple.
In January of this year, CNET reported that Blackberry Ltd. filed a suit against a physical keyboard startup company co-founded by American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest. The company, Typo Products, began manufacturing physical keyboards that could be used for iPhone devices, which are completely touch screen.
After Blackberry lost many customers with the rise of Apple and Android phones, the once-booming company struggled to stay relevant in a world of competition. It continues to release new devices to try to win back previous users, but has struggled to keep up with new devices from competing companies.
The Typo cases Blackberry is suing over are made to fit iPhone cases and connect via Bluetooth. It has a keyboard very similar to that of the classic Blackberry keyboard, which sparked the lawsuit.
According to AP, Blackberry has won the first round of battle of a long-predicted war against typo to ban the sales of the accessory keyboard.
Though Blackberry was victorious in the early rounds of the suit, Typo could potentially win if they claim that the keyboard was not based on any other smartphone keyboard.
