What's the current situation with In-App Purchases and patent issues? I'd like to do fund a smaller project of my own but I'm put off by the problems other developers have had in the past.
- ronaldgl 12y agoA good question. I didn't take this into a great deal of consideration - I haven't seen any press or heard anything about it since 2013, and I felt that publishing something good would have value beyond this concern. This is the latest I can find: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/03/ding-dong-patent-troll-lodsys-is-finally-probably-dead-after-its-domain-has-expired/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/03/ding-dong-patent-tro...

- ronaldgl 12y agoThis wasn't a major concern of mine, but this is the latest I could find: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/03/ding-dong-patent-troll-lodsys-is-finally-probably-dead-after-its-domain-has-expired/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/03/ding-dong-patent-tro... Anyway "The last Lodsys patent technically expired in 2012 - the LLC had been suing based on past infringement"
