Can someone on this list please give an opinion? I suggest you consider it as they requested, file it, and do not reply. I see nothing in this patent that could be considered anything infringed by QRPedia technology that is not long established as open source or irrelevant. My past experience, having worked in mobile technology for some years and been part of managing the international IP for new technology, is that the mobile technology sector lawyers (or more often proto-lawyers) will scour the internet hunting for anything that might get them a decent commission. Speculative letters are cheap to send and as QRPedia gets more press coverage, this sort of contact is likely to become very frequent. This is not professional advice, I am not writing in my capacity in any organization I am affiliated with or was affiliated with, blah, blah, imagine a lengthy disclaimer here...
