Exactly. If you wanted to avoid that risk, you should've patented your software like everyone else ;)

- bruce511 2y agoPersonally I'm against software patents, and do I don't patent my work. Secondly most of what I make (and most apps that are in play here) are not patentable. You can patent some implementation detail, but not the overall idea. Lastly, even if you had a patent, you can't fight the platform. They are bigger than you and have more lawyers. You'll likely lose, and even if you win it'll be years of distraction. (Not to mention that the platform can simply break your program as an opening salvo.) So no, I don't think patents are a defense, nor should they be.
- mysterydip 2y agoI agree, I think they shouldn't exist. That's why I used a ;) face. maybe I should've used /s?
