I think it did accelerate their plans slightly. Nonetheless, some
Android developers are already in the suit, so now would not be too
early for Google to get involved. I wouldn't want them to write a
letter if they don't follow it up with action, though.

But I think that lesson is good for us too. If you don't want to
discuss licensing with LodSys, don't write them a letter that
disagrees with them in any way, unless you are prepared to go to court
right away. A letter from your lawyer stating "we've reviewed the
claim and found it without merit" may just set them off.

I am still not a lawyer, etc.
