BlackBerry licensed its intellectual property to companies such as TCL and Optiemus to build and sell BlackBerry smartphones such as KEYone and DTEK60, and the company has now made a similar move with Timex, by signing a patent license agreement earlier this week.
Since Timex is making smartwatches, there is a big possibility that we will see a BlackBerry-branded smartwatch in near future. The license agreement didn’t reveal what product and patents are involved, but the patents deal with “wireless communications, networking infrastructure, acoustics, messaging, enterprise software, operating systems, virtualization and cybersecurity.”
