Oracle Sues Patent Troll for Behaving Like Oracle

Fresh off its failed attempt to prove that Google’s Android operating system infringed on its Java patents, Oracle has sued a small company called Lodsys, complaining that the Texas-based outfit has been harassing its customers with questionable claims of patent infringement.

The database giant says that its suit is an attempt to disarm Lodsys so that it will stop harassing Oracle’s customers with letters, phone calls and emails about obtaining a license to its four patents.
