Don't ignore him! Its would be a very good thing if you'd just call him and explain the prior art to him and gently steer him toward not wasting his time and money pursuing a patent that won't be granted.
Of course you might head off the serendipitous granting of a ridiculous patent that might fall into the hands of a real troll ala Lodsys later. If he refuses to listen to reason, you might look into sending the prior art to the patent office in reference to his application.
- noonespecial 15y agoDownvote? Really? I just thought that maybe the guy might actually not be the awful troll that we instinctively leap to the conclusion that he is. He might just be a guy who really doesn't grok how all this works. Could a simple call to find out really be that bad. (seriously IANAL so I really don't know) I think he's just an idiot who happens to be inadvertently trolling. Not a professional troll. It seems like he really does want to sell his goofy cloud motion and probably thinks he's the new new. Whatever.
