Thanks. Funny that we are not even remotely successful with the said app. Monthly sales of $150 range and it is strictly a hobby app since maintenance costs around $10/mo.
Sell it to them for a million dollars then.

See whether any of your friends, preferably who run businesses like yours, have recommendations for a good lawyer for this area. Or, if they don't, whether they can recommend a good lawyer in another area who can recommend a good lawyer for patent law.

#13Patent law needs to be overhauled. It's getting ridiculous. If you are successful you WILL be sued by a troll for infringing their "breathing air" patent. I don't have advice, only sympathy.
Our only hope at this point is that that company that got a patent on patent trolling will sue all the patent trolls out of business for violating their patent.
