oh, it's time to rumble -- this seems to always happen.
socialhypeOct 26, 2010
damn, everyone suing everyone... thats crazy
jqp123Oct 26, 2010
Everyone suing everyone? Not quite there yet --- until HTC, Samsung and Motorola sue Google for producing the code.
stignordasOct 26, 2010
It seems that IP lawsuits are a solid line of revenue for these corporations. For crap sake, it's an open-source product they're suing over!
jqp123Oct 26, 2010
Yes, everyone knows that open source products are exempt from things like patent laws.
/sarcasm

JamSquadOct 26, 2010
I hope they lose and they stop stunting technology growth this patents. My god.
chakatOct 26, 2010
f**king patent trolls and venue shopping. I'm sorry, but if neither party has a significant presence in a venue, you shouldn't have a lawsuit there.

Java. lol.

I always wonder what takes these folks so long to go to court over this. Android has been out for quite some time...
TomHanks4Oct 26, 2010
many reasons. you have to make sure the party you are suing is fully committed and invested in the product so that they have to deal with you instead of just scrapping the thing. you need to ensure the revenue being made is enough to fund your demands. you hope to catch the company you sue at the point where it makes more sense for them to pay you off than to fight your BS lawsuit in court.. etc.

You are all infringing on my air breathing patent!!!!
I do not actually have a patent on breathing air, but I do have a patent on how air flows through your nose. Which might be obvious to some of you, but I patented it so FU all. Pay up b*tches.
PS
Thank you Patents Office.
jqp123Oct 27, 2010
"Thank you Patents Office."
For what? Processing your paperwork?
Getting a patent is the easy part. Successfully defending it in court is the hard part.

i dont understand how code can be both copyrighted and patented.
thats like patenting star trek preventing future space based sci-fi (like star wars, battlestar galactica, ...)
jqp123Oct 27, 2010
"i dont understand how code can be both copyrighted and patented."
It can't.
"Code" can be copyrighted but not patented. What can be patented is any new, unique process --- which may or may not be implemented in computer code.
Example: Theoretically, I could obtain a patent on a new form of data compression. Using the information readily available from the patent, you could develop your own code to implement it.
Unless you copied my (or someone else's) code, you haven't violated any copyrights. But you have violated my patent ... just by implementing my unique process.

This sounds like the guy who sued all MMO games for copyright infringement.
You can't patent water, people.

Good luck trying to win a lawsuit against Google, HTC, Samsung or Motorola. Those four companies will probably bring in four Johnnie Cochran's.
