OP is probably referring to Lodsys, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/10/patent-troll-lodsys-settles-nothing-avoid-trial https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/10/patent-troll-lodsys-se..., who is known for suing iOS and I think Google Play developers for using in app purchases.
- benologist 13y agoYes, and I'm specifically thinking of them too regarding how rare it really is - IAPs have a massive presence in iOS and Android and Lodsys have gone after just hundreds (if even that?) of developers. It's like startups speculating about what some giant competitor is going to do "about them", it's somewhere between premature and a fantasy in almost every case.
- kevin_rubyhouse 13y agoAgreed. It'd almost be a good problem to have, since it means that the OP's game/app is making him good money. Doesn't make sense to stress about it.
