Hey, there’s a story up on osnews about our little fiasco:
How Apple Handles App Store Infringement Complaints: Badly
Hopefully this will shame DP Technologies into emailing apple to rescind their complaint, and our app won’t be removed. Be nice if Apple changed their policy about infringement claims as well.
Alan has a blog about dishpointer as well if anyone’s interested. He also has a forum for dishpointer.
If anyone’s interested in DishLoc, its on the iTunes App Store at least for now.
No reply yet (to us, that is) from DP Technologies. I’m told he’s been pruning his blog responses at http://www.dishpointer.com/2009/augmented-reality-satellite-finder/comment-page-2/ though.

Wow, what a pathetic, cowardly attempt to eliminate competition. Your app must rock, if you’ve got them running this scared. What happened to competing on merit? When will people stop crying “patent” about things that don’t actually merit one. I guess it’s just a way to clog up the already overloaded patent system with baseless claims.
