Apple is even doing things like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2055869/German-cafe-Apfelkind-logo-dispute-Apple.html Nevertheless, I agree that it is not very likely that Apple will sue a small company for connecting its accessories to an Android smartphone. But there is also the possibility that Android's accessory development protocol as a whole is affected by the patent and then it probably must be removed from Android. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
