Uniloc sues Mojang over alleged patent infringement in 'Mindcraft'
Yup, Mindcraft.
"Unfortunately for them, they're suing us over a software patent. If needed, I will throw piles of money at making sure they don't get a cent," Notch said on Twitter this morning. "Software patents are plain evil. Innovation within software is basically free, and it's growing incredibly rapid. Patents only slow it down."
Uniloc is seeking damages compounded by both pre and post-judgment interest, as well as ongoing royalties from Mojang. This should be a good one.

Notch should sue them right back for game and name infringement. Regardless, those "mindcraft" idiots are going to get a lot of bad reviews.

Mojang will win, that quote seems pretty confident. And besides, Uniloc can't even get the name right LOL
