That's not going to stop them from coming after you, and it'll be on you
to explain the distinction in court (if they were really going to sue
you). They seem to think they've patented the link to purchase from an
app, and you could arguably conclude that even links inside a web
browser violate the patent because the browser is an app and you're
purchasing from it. When you start to boil things down in the software
world pretty much everything is the same as everything else, which is
why patenting makes no sense.
In my humble opinion.

That opens an interesting concept. If you want the paid version of
my game download this intermediary app that will then point you to the
premium game. They can't claim you are linking to an upgrade to
your game if the link is not in the free version.... Hmmm.

Does it only matter if you link to your app's details Market page
or is it also a problem linking to your "Other apps..."?

If you have a App in the Market it's madatory to make a adress

And yes, this aplies to links also, because my Button is
simply a Link to the Android Market. In Android you can choose
what to do with certain links. Like youtube links open the
Youtube Browser, so Market links are opening the Market App.
It's shame how patent claim where send to tiny small
developers who are only using mechnismas that already exists
since the Web was born.
