Google has filed a request with the USPTO to ask it to re-examine two patents held by intellectual property firm, Lodsys. It has asked for an assessment on whether the patents at the heart of the dispute between Lodsys and app developers are valid.
Google senior vide president and general counsel, Kent Walker told Wired.com: ‘We’ve asked the US Patent Office to reexamine two Lodsys patents that we believe should never have been issued. Developers play a critical part in the Android ecosystem and Google will continue to support them.’
