#2Well that's awkward. Lodsys is owned by Nathan Myhrvold' Intellectual Ventures. Nathan Myhrvold has been a guest on Martha Stewart's show.

Not really. The show had 1000 episodes [1], and the Martha Stewart brand covers a number of businesses. It'd be unusual if no one who'd ever been on the show had a business conflict with any of those businesses.

#6Haha, yeah, in the app industry this is referred to as the welcome package. Most people aren't allowed to talk about it due to the terms. Good to see someone actually try to fight it.

The allegation of the link between Lodsys and IV has not yet been conclusively proven as far as I can tell.
However, I did do some research into Lodsys and found this interesting fact:

Countersuit. I'm guessing you are in your 20's and have no idea who the fuck she is.
She will probably make flaming bags of dogshit in ornate bags with pretty ribbons on the front porches of the Lodsys executives if she hasn't already. Don't fuck with her.
She made jail look like a cakewalk and if she went to hell, it would be featured on HGTV within a few months saying how she redid the place.

#9Interesting that Martha Stewart is suing Lodsys in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin:
"On information and belief, Mr. Small [CEO of Lodsys] conducts Lodsys’s business from an office located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, within this jurisdictional district. Accordingly, on information and belief, Lodsys’s primary place of business and/or headquarters is located within this judicial district."
Maybe that court will be more reasonable than the one in Texas where the patent trolls like to file their suits?

#10This article lacks substance. Martha Stewart may not have it in for patent trolls at all. It may be that she's a big target and her council has advised her to make an example out of any patent trolls that approach her. This could also mean that she has lawyers that are interested in racking up big bills.
