I'm happy I'm in Canada? I mean sure, I'm certainly not protected 100% - if a patent troll wants to roll across me, there's definitely cross-border agreements to allow that. That said, it's certainly different from what they're accustomed to due to that cross-border issue, and thus a bit more difficult and there are probably much easier targets within their immediate legal jurisdiction. Not that it it really matters for me RIGHT NOW, since I only just launched the other day and revenue is a future dream, but it still assuages my fear a little.

As a fellow Canadian dev, I'd urge you to assume the worst case scenario for litigation. Or at the very least, consult with a lawyer. Patents can be defended across borders. At the very least, your life can be turned into hell.

  Surely there must be a way to simply ignore the lawsuit the way OJ Simpson ignored his civil lawsuit [1]. [1] Well, he had to move, but the point is he didn't pay the people who sued him a dime. This is what I would want to do; make sure the ones who sued me got nothing.
