I think you were lucky that the patent was actually fought in court and close to a resolution. It's not always the case, so ignoring the troll may not be the best advice. Especially if the troll's lawyers are paid on a contingency basis. They have all the incentives to sue. It doesn't cost them anything, and any ruling in their favor reinforce their case.
- spiredigital 14y agoI agree. I was very lucky the case was so close to a resolution and that my research (and that of my wife, who has experience in the legal field) led us to believe their case was weak. Also, as I stated in the post, I do not broadly advise ignoring legal claims: "...if you are contacted about a patent violation, I highly recommend hiring a lawyer to look things over. The last thing you want is to ignore a legitimate infringement claim or legal issue".
