Judge tosses Apple motion, allows patent-troll Lodsys to continue rampage
Lodsys became one of the most-scorned patent holders in 2011, by making seemingly small cash demands (just 0.575 percent of your revenue, please!) against small app makers, who it said were infringing its patents that cover in-app purchasing and upgrades. Within months, that brought a legal challenge by Apple, which saw a clear threat to its ecosystem.
