Reviewers love Ryan Seacrest’s Typo keyboard for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5. BlackBerry, not so much. BlackBerry announced last month that it was finally taking on its biggest threat — Ryan Seacrest — and filing a lawsuit against the company behind the Typo keyboard, an iPhone accessory that adds a BlackBerry-like keyboard to Apple’s latest iPhones. Now, Reuters reports that Typo Products has filed a motion with the court claiming that BlackBerry is off base and the Typo iPhone keyboard accessory doesn’t violate any of the vendor’s patents. Typo’s filing asks the court to rule that no patents have been infringed, declare all of BlackBerry’s claims invalid, and dismiss the case immediately.
