East Texas judge throws out 168 patent cases in one fell swoop

Sure, why not? I have a 6S now, too. I'd want a one-touch unlock/lock and AC option.
The law firm I hired is going to handle speaking with the other defendants. My law firm apparently has worked with Apple's lawyers before, so they have a direct connection to their lawyers.Named Defendants: "General Motors, OnStar, Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, Porsche, DEI Holdings, Samsung Electronics, LG Corporation, Sony Corporation, Lenovo, Motorola Mobility, Apple, Inc, Station Digital Media, and Rego Apps."
Well, you're in good company. Have you reached out to any of the other defendants?
If the patent troll didn't have money to pay for the legal fees when the lawsuit failed, they should have turned over their only item of value, their patents, which would have shut the jerks down from future lawsuits.
Has the topic of royalty payments come up? As a smaller developer, you should be able to reason with the other party that your sales are X and that you would pay a certain % of sales. I would think that % would be much lower than legal fees to fight the lawsuit.
I'd happily donate something towards the patent troll battle fund, if need be. Just let me know. I can't PM here for the moment, but just shoot me an email to my username at skie.net if you desire and end up with a spot for donations.
I'm not an Apple user (still holding out for the Android version :biggrin: ), but patent trolls really annoy me. A company I worked with on a project recently won a battle against a patent troll who basically had no money to even pay for my side's legal fees when they lost. It's pretty sad.
Hi All, Hi Allen,
I hope your recovery is going in the right direction albeit slowly. And see that you seem to be in good company with the litigation so hopefully that will work out as well.
Maybe some one can help me on this issue:
I noticed that even if the APP on the iPhone says it has updated i cannot get the update to the apple watch APPlette and if I try to engage the TESLA APP I get no update either...... This has now been the case since last Friday. I have done your prescribed signing in and out process to get a new lease with the server but to no avail........ The APPs seems to log on to the TESLA servers correctly but then get stuck.....?! On the TESLA APP it says it is trying to wake the car up... I know there is no difference to either the positioning or the battery state of the car since last Friday. Could it be a REMOTE S problem or have I been "locked out" of my car and in that case what is there to do?
thanks for any help and best of recovery and good luck

Ah, the issue sounds like the car is asleep. When the car is asleep, you can't get any updated stats on the car. There are two ways to get the car updating again. That's to get the Tesla app to finish waking up the car first. The other way is to find and press the "Wake Car" button on the Apple Watch. Waking up the car takes a very long time, because it relies on the car to briefly connect to the internet every 15 minutes or so and ask if it needs to be woken up. This is why in the energy savings setting in the car, I set the Energy Savings mode to on, but set the "Always connected" to on as well.
If you're locked out of the car, it's probably because you disable Remote Access from inside the car's settings. If that's not the case, then you might want to try to reboot the car's OS by press and holding down the two scroll wheels on the steering wheel for 30 seconds.
Hmmmmmmm maybe asleep but I do have the always connected on and the car is plugged in............ so maybe it is a reboot thing.... Can't do that until tomorrow or a few days at the earliest.......I'll try and see......THANKS!

I want to get back on updating the app, but I don't want the Patent Troll to get any revenue for improvements I make to the iPhone/iPad app. Since the Patent infringement case only applies to the Apple Watch portion of the app, I am thinking about maybe splitting the app into two projects. One will be just for the Apple Watch, and one for the iPhone app. This way, even if the patent troll wins, I can minimize the amount of money he can win. Are you guys okay with that?
And thanks to the several people who donated to the Patent Troll Battle Fund. As you may or may not know, a Texan lawyer who specializes in patent law costs me $400 per hour. Just sending a detailed letter to the judge to try to get the case dismissed might cost upwards of $15,000-$20,000. So the revenue on Remote S will probably be wiped out by the end of this, and I most likely will go in the negative for having created this app.
