Judge Halts Sales Of Typo Keyboard

BlackBerry is having a good day. First they post numbers that weren’t as bad as everyone feared. Now they got a court to halt the sales of the Ryan Seacrest backed Typo keyboard that ticked them off so much. Here’s the details:

U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco said in a ruling today that BlackBerry is likely to prevail on its infringement claims and that Typo hasn’t made a strong challenge to the validity of the smartphone maker’s patents. Orrick also dismissed Typo’s concern that a temporary sales ban may put the company out of business.

So if the fat lady isn’t singing for Typo, she’s warming up as it looks like it’s game, set, and match for BlackBerry. One suspects that BlackBerry lawyers and execs will be knocking back a drink or two in celebration. As for Ryan Seacrest, he should likely go back to his day job.
