Default You can be sued simply for uploading an app to Google Play

If you’re an app developer uploading content to the Google Play Store – or you plan to be at some point – then the following may serve as a cautionary tale. Austin Meyer, an app developer from South Carolina, has posted a video on YouTube explaining how he is being sued by a patent troll in East Texas simply for uploading his app to Google Play. But not because his app infringes on some patent: because the patent troll apparently owns the idea of the Google Play Store itself.

You can be sued for anything and everything these days.

Hopefully this patent troll is sued out of existence before they do too much damage.
