Typo Gets Sued…. Again

Fresh off getting slapped to the tune of almost a million dollars, Typo is getting sued again by BlackBerry. The Ryan Seacrest backed company is getting sued over their new keyboard the Typo2 this time. Here’s what BlackBerry had to say:

Just as they did with the Typo Keyboard, Defendants have again copied numerous proprietary BlackBerry designs and patents in the Typo2 Keyboard. The Typo2 Keyboard still blatantly copies BlackBerry’s iconic keyboard trade dress designs that have been embodied in numerous BlackBerry smartphones from the 2007 BlackBerry 8800 to the current Q10 and Classic models. The Typo2 Keyboard also infringes numerous BlackBerry utility patents related to BlackBerry’s proprietary keyboard design, backlighting and typing automation technologies.

Sucks to be them. I really don’t like their chances seeing as they just lost. But I’m a computer nerd, not a lawyer. Having said that, two lawsuits are going be huge drain on the company. Thus, the reason why I don’t like their chances.
