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.

For the absolute idiots posting about Mojang not needing anymore money, How about you actually do some research.
Notch is trying to protect the rights to anyone creating video games not to profit from a possible sue'ing.

Mindcraft > Minecraft
I read the title like it said Minecraft and I was like wth but then I saw where they where being sneaky and changed the e to a d. Mojang should sue them for stealing there name. Because there game has nothing to do with minds.

It's a typo. They're not stealing the game.
