SpiceInvaders writes "The developer of the City Caller ID application for Android is being sued by Ceguint. Apparently "they have a patent on displaying a city name with state on a LCD screen with a limited processor." Doesn't this cover practically every cordless phone? Wonder if their case goes away if you run the application on a core-i7 phone equipped with a OLED screen instead?"

Software Patents Stifle Innovation (Score:1)
I live in the UK and still feel the effects of US software patents.
If a company is not planning/investing in their patents, they should lose the right to enforce them.

This isn't a patent troll, just a stupid patent.
