According to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, BlackBerry filed a suit against Typo Products LLC, the maker of a snap-on keyboard accessory for the iPhone. BlackBerry's general counsel, Steve Zipperstein, called the Typo "obvious infringement against BlackBerry's iconic keyboard," saying the company "will vigorously strongly protect our intellectual property against any company that attempts to copy our unique design."

 The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. However,
It is unclear exactly which patents Typo is alleged to have violated, and BlackBerry declined to discuss the lawsuit beyond a news release.
