We figured Apple’s firm response to Lodsys earlier this week regarding its claims against iOS devs would prompt the patent holder to go directly to its next target, and certain enough, it seems like said target have been selected. Unfortunately, a bunch of Android app devs have now found themselves within the Texas-based company’s crosshairs, that is citing the similar patent infringement that Apple recently addressed, relating specifically to in-app upgrade purchases. As was the case with the last round of letters, Lodsys is demanding licensing fees from small, individual developers, who wouldn’t have the resources to fight back. Lodsys seems to be maintaining its trend of ignoring media requests, so we’re keeping track of the patent troll’s blog to determine if anyone comes as much as the skin to defend this latest round of allegations. Meanwhile, plugging your ears while humming and ignoring the mailman may not be any such bad idea… you recognize, should you do that type of thing for a living.
