So, does Lodsys (actually they are just a shell for Intellectual Ventures) still have firepower left, or is this the end of the game?

- ajross 15y agoThe actual court case will drag on forever I'm sure. But their ability to force a settlement seems pretty badly hurt. It's much easier for a corporate legal department to take a wait-and-see approach, waiting for a resolution here. The perceived risk is lower.
- andrewljohnson 15y agoOne college student running an app ("69 Positions") already caved. Unfortunately, it sounds like Lodsys still has most of what it needs to lean on the indie developers - the fact that the devs simply can't afford to pay for defense.
