David, I'm sorry you are going through this.
I put together a list of resources for those of you that have received letters from Lodsys. I will add to it as I find out more information. If you have the contact information for a developer advocate at Google, I suggest talking to them as well. Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) - Julie Samuels (ju...@eff.org) She is helping to coordinate contacts between app developers. She might also be able to help you find a lawyer. (Not sure if you're out of the U.S. though.) Mike Lee's "Appsterdam Alliance" - http://mur.mu.rs/?p=303 (b...@le.mu.rs) As you can see in this article, he is hoping to get developers together to defend themselves. If you contact him, he can get you in touch with his lawyer. Advice on how to respond - http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/07/cost-efficient-way-for-app-developers.html As for comments like "I for one hope that they (Lodsys) carry on behaving like extortionist gangsters. It's the surest path to patent reform as it relates to software. Thanks Lodsys!" (Christopher Van Kirk)... Maybe think a bit before you post something like that. It's really not helpful to anyone and you will be thinking differently when a FedEx from Lodsys shows up on your doorstep and you face a real risk of losing your business and more. -- Katie On Aug 17, 4:17 am, David Erosa García <soul...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all. > > I'm a "solo" developer from Spain and just received a letter > fromlodsysclaiming infringment for 4 US patents... > I've been in shock since I received it an hour ago and just wanted to > know if any of you has any kind of advise for this situation...
