Patent trolls have a new enemy: Martha Stewart

[Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi)]

Patent troll Lodsys demands $5,000 from Martha Stewart. That was a bad idea

Patent trolling has become so widespread that no business is safe. A couple of months ago I noted that Whataburger, Kroger and J. Crew had joined the anti-troll fight. Now one patent troll has attracted an even more formidable foe: Martha Stewart.

GigaOm reports that Stewart's firm, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, has filed a lawsuit against LodSys, one of the nation's most prolific patent trolls.

Anyone suing a person with Martha Stewart's money and personality either has balls the size of watermelons or a brain the size of a frozen pea. I suspect the latter to be closest to the truth.

Agreed, but I also think the greedy bastards..and biatches don't pay attention to whom the letters are sent, just the number of letters sent, as the odds are in their favor of most just paying, but like we've seen with Getty every once in a while one decides to fight back, usually with good results..

I wonder if a Getty recipient decided to file suit after getting a letter, how fast Getty would rather settle, instead of answering hard questions and being fully exposed..One day that letter recipient will appear, just a matter of time.

Just waiting to hear from any of them again my friend.
