Angry Birds maker Rovio sued by Lodsys as US software patents multiply
The US patent system allows software implementations of ideas to be patented, which differs significantly from the European Union – although the European Parliament has been considering aligning patent rights with the US.
"While the developers will likely be interested in resolving this case as quickly and inexpensively as possible, Apple's interest is in protecting its broader license rights with respect to thousands of App developers for Apple products who may be the subject of future Lodsys lawsuits or threats," said Apple's motion, making it clear that the company did not expect the small independent developers originally sued by Lodsys to be able to fight the company in court.

EA Sports: the future is all our games for the price of one
Social and casual games have, he said, massively expanded the global gaming audience from 250 million a couple of years ago to 1.2 billion – but that this audience has radically different demands than the traditional 'core' gamers. Just as consumers have taken control of music delivery by abandoning CDs in favour of digital downloads, and just as TV viewers have moved away from schedules toward content-on-demand, he sees the future of interactive entertainment being all games available on all platforms when the gamer wants them.
