Cross Promotion in “More Games” Violates Lodsys’ Patents ⇥

Lodsys is dragging a wider net than ever. From the representative handling this developer’s case:

The patent specification sets forth many different types of perceptions and how they may be elicited. One of those is through interactive services and transactions. Specifically, a perception that can be elicited is the desire of the user to indicate their desire to purchase something that is related to or complementary to the product or service.

He goes on to insist that the game violates Lodsys’ patents because it includes a link to purchase the full version of another game by the same developer.
