Following their filing of a patent infringement lawsuit against Avaya in Texas, BlackBerry has now initiated two patent infringement lawsuits against BLU Products, Inc. in Florida. In the suit, BlackBerry alleges that BLU infringes multiple BlackBerry patents by using, without authorization, BlackBerry's proprietary technology in BLU's commercial mobile devices.
As a result of its infringement, BLU has earned substantial revenue selling 2G, 3G, and LTE-compliant products that use BlackBerry's technology. BLU makes, sells, uses, offers to sell, markets, and/or imports numerous smartphones compatible with the 2G, 3G, and LTE standard throughout the United States without a license from BlackBerry.
BlackBerry offered BLU a license on FRAND terms, but BLU never responded. Despite efforts by BlackBerry to negotiate, BLU has persisted in importing, selling, and offering for sale a substantial volume of standard-compliant products that use BlackBerry's SEP technology without a license.
