I’ve been covering the Typo v. BlackBerry story for a while and today the news came that Typo has to pay up:
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that Typo Products owes BlackBerry more than $860,000 for violating an injunction barring sales of its original iPhone keyboard case.
The contempt finding has to do with BlackBerry’s allegations that Typo continued to sell and market the original Typo case despite a court injunction issued in March of last year. Typo has since released a second product, Typo 2, that it says is designed to avoid intellectual property conflicts with BlackBerry.
Typo which is backed by Ryan Seacrest kind of blew this off as being no big deal:
In a statement, a Typo representative said that the ruling is “part of the ongoing patent litigation related to the initial Typo product”
“It has no impact on the Typo 2 product currently in the marketplace or our other planned product releases for the tablet,” the representative said, declining further comment.
We’ll have to see. It now seems that this lawsuit is in the endgame.
