iOS developers targeted over in-app purchase patent infringement – FierceDeveloper

The Guardian reports Apple is “actively investigating” Lodsys’s claims. In the meantime, the blogosphere has rallied in support of the iOS developers in the Lodsys crosshairs. “Lodsys is trying to abuse the patent system in a way that could ultimately destroy the entire mobile apps economy, which is not only thriving on its own but has been and continues to be a key factor in making new mobile devices so useful and popular, to the benefit of corporations and consumers alike,” writes intellectual property activist Florian Mueller on his blog.
