Lodsys switching tactics, now going after Android developers (Digital Trends)

Last week decided to keep Lodsys patent for developers to take on Ios for the use of their supposedly patented in-app-payment technology. Immediately shot back, saying Apple's licensing rights to the technology is expanding its developer.

But undeterred Lodsys can: today the filing of the same complaints against Android problem. Company The Cult of Mac noticed a forum thread where Android developers Lodsys of the claims were approached via a. "We recently implemented in-app purchasing for our Android application and a couple of weeks later we received a letter from Lodsys, claiming that we infringed their patents, a developer of control "Markusn82 says.Also, wisely, asked if any of your colleagues have experienced the same thing and more importantly, if Google is not going to do something about it.

Google has introduced the application of the payment plans for Android in a few months, two, and developers have used the system.

Lodsys was aimed at developers, their platforms rather than because of his financial difficulties and inability to combat this kind of litigation. But if it is a consolation for developers of Android, Google has licensed the technology itself as Apple has done, so if you decide to fight for Lodsys tell by their developers alone can.

Whatever Google chooses to do, certainly say that, after telling of being lost by Apple Lodsys was moved to its next target.
