Yeah I can see how this will quickly devolve into some kind of epic legal battle and I am not a lawyer. However that is not the point. As a consumer, wouldn't you like to see cost breakdown like this? App purchase: $10.00 Direct intermediary total: 30% Payment processor total: 0.15% Government total: 8.25% PS. Software Engine total: 5% PS. Patent uses total: 5.63% [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32374976 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32374976 - so finally we can put patent trolling issue to rest, that is to make it impossible for patent owners to prohibit it's uses and instead use appraisers to define value of a patent in it's particular use. This may mean forcing users to pay for a patent use, even in products which were initially free.
