The Convergence in Tech
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on March 2, 2019, 3:27 AMEveryone does everyone's job. Yes, Blackberry is suing Twitter for patent infringement. This simply shows how these companies are related. With a huge convergence, the difference between them is the same as between 12 and a dozen.
Twitter “succeeded in diverting consumers away from BlackBerry’s products and services” and toward its own by misappropriating features that made BlackBerry “a critical and commercial success in the first place,” the complaint said.
A spokesman for Twitter declined to comment.
BlackBerry was an early provider of messaging services, including through BlackBerry Messenger, and was known for its mobile email devices.
But the Waterloo, Ontario-based company lost traction as consumers shifted to Apple’s iPhone, Samsung’s Galaxy and other Android-based smartphones.
BlackBerry filed its complaint with the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
