BlackBerry Wins Order Barring Sales by Seacrest’s Typo
This article is for subscribers only.
BlackBerry Ltd. won a court order barring Ryan Seacrest’s Typo Products LLC from selling a $99 iPhone case after convincing a judge that Typo is probably infringing its patents.
U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco said in a ruling yesterday 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 if it can’t fulfill orders.
