Question: Can I start a small dev company in some other country thereby bypassing any patent trolls? Perhaps somewhere like Sweeden where they are much more sane about these issues?
If this is the case, all we are ending up doing is driving technology away from the USA, and continuing to kill our economy.
- hetman 14y agoUnfortunately you'd still have to contend with the trolls if you wanted to sell your product/service in the USA.
- AhtiK 14y agoIt depends on where your customer is located. Selling to a USA customer is opening you up to the US legislation for that specific transaction. IANAL.
- acdha 14y agoIf the company does any business with people in the US, patent trolls can attack it - perhaps the most famous recent example being the Uniloc vs. Mojang case: http://notch.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/mojang.pdf http://notch.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/mojang.pdf
