Question would be as "super small developer" whats the easiest Exit Strategy.

A Patent Lawer in the US easily costs serveral hundert $/hour. Their strategy might be that this effort is too big for most of us. (Especially from Europe / laguage barrier) So after reading http://www.lodsys.com/1/post/2011/05/q-what-are-you-charging.html i was thinking if the easiest way to sleep better ist, ask them what you have to paid for the past and future use.

In case you removed the Button it would be the question how to the know how many apps you have sold in the US. If you sold you app like 500 times for 2 $ this might be a very small amount of money you have to spend. The Question remains it this is legit because their claim that even a link to the Market violates one of their patents is kind of odd, because than you can claim that exact case for every website linking to a Commercial Item like Amazon links oder whatsover. Same Mechanism. The Button in you game is only a HTTP Link to a Android Market website. No Strings attached.

Next question qould be hwo to contact them, and how fast do they respond.

Anybody experienced a solution that was heading for a licening ?
