"Mojang is directly infringing one or more claims of the ’067 patent in this judicial
district and elsewhere in Texas, including at least claim 107, without the consent or authorization
of Uniloc, by or through making, using, offering for sale, selling and/or importing Android based
applications for use on cellular phones and/or tablet devices that require communication with a
server to perform a license check to prevent the unauthorized use of said application, including,
but not limited to, Mindcraft."
I mean, if the fools can't even spell "Minecraft" properly, that means one of two things:
1. They can't afford to proofread their documents
2. They don't know their facts.
Either way, they're most likely just being stupid. If this was true, all Android apps that have some sort of user authentication (Facebook, Twitter, eBay, etc etc) would violate this patent. Considering how widespread authentication systems are on Android devices, this patent was probably filed by some jerk who wants to get money out of everyone. Anyone got any info on how recent the patent is?

A link another user posted puts the filing date in Feb. 2001 and the issuing date in Feb. 2005
Really, uniloc? I mean seriously, just because they upgraded the security your charging them a billion dollars? why don't you just go out there and sue every security network. Next thing you know they're going to sue every company that makes computers by saying Computers was his idea. they're money grabbers for sure of it.
"to perform a license check to prevent the unauthorized use of said application, including,
but not limited to, Mindcraft."
Seriously, they are filing a lawsuit and they can't even get the name of the application they are filing against right?
Notch, point out these guys' flaws in their document or don't tell them, since I'm sure you don't own a game called Mindcraft. They will have to go through their documents over again and probably take them weeks or months for them to even pull this again. Also are they really even legitimate? Or is this some company trying to get money off a famous name?
Really uniloc? just really? Why you always must suing companies to get money. You must be very dumbasses and troll. This company Uniloc must be very desperate to get money but getting from popular games will not work.. I think scientists need add morons and idiots to world elements
"Mindcraft"? What is this "Mindcraft" you speak of? I see no "Mindcraft" here other than your faulty request for you to be paid for this making of this "Mindcraft" game that Mojang has definitely not made. Maybe you should search "Mindcraft" on Google to be sure you have the right company.
I hope they love losing lawsuits. Btw, who can afford suing mojang, Sony, Microsoft, and more all at the same time? Answer is... NOBODY! Prepare to be humiliated.

Minecraft not Mindcraft *****, please type carefully before suing Mojang.
Ugh, patent trolls. The reason why so many companies have settled against these guys is that simply being involved in the lawsuite costs a lot of money.

Is it just me or does that explanation seem like they are suing over a "Technique" rather than software, and a method used by almost every multiplayer game these days. Except the fact that its on an Andriod device, which they don't own. It's like going into a new coffee shop and getting a patent on how you drink your coffee. Then suing everyone there because they are drinking their coffee that way even though they were doing it everywhere else before AND they don't even own the coffee shop.
LET'S DO IT!
Screw it let's ask Valve for back up then this Ric guy will really be screwed

These Uniloc guys deserve to rot in jail.
