2 Mission: “Embrace and empower invention by supporting an Innovative Economy” Claims patent covers all in-app purchasing on all devices. Asked why they’re targeting small developers: “This story is about accountability for actions. If you are a Developer, it’s about knowledge about the scope and risks of your business.” “Invention”: 1 Implementation: 0 you-picking-on-small-developers-who-cannot-defend-themselves.html

3 Update on the Lawsuit LODSYS reasserts suit, citing licensing momentum: As of October 8, 2012, there are greater than 150 companies which obtained the rights to use the Lodsys Group patent portfolio, and more than 4 out of 5 of these companies have entered into licenses outside of the litigation process. These companies have realized significant savings by taking advantage of lower licensing rates. Intimidation: 1 Investigation: 0

4 Interval Licensing Asserts rights against all major players on the web except Microsoft AOL, Apple, eBay, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo!, and YouTube Anyone here know the result?

5 Open Source Platforms Linux - operating systems everywhere Languages - PHP, Java, Ruby, etc. Wikimedia - spread knowledge WebKit - browsers everywhere Netscape -> Mozilla Konqueror -> WebKit Ne

6 What can the USPTO do? Steps in the right direction: Favor implementation and investigation. Err on the side of less approvals. Enhance the Obviousness standard: 1. Would this be discovered in the next 6 months without disclosure? If so, don’t grant claim. Why does the industry need it? 2. After 6 months, crowdsource prior art info on sites like Prior art must have been created over a month before claim was disclosed to the crowd. Open source drives software innovation, based on implementation. Patents are based on disclosure + monopoly restrictions on industry. Effort put into writing software is protected by copyright.
