Apple has filed a motion to intervene in Lodsys's lawsuit against seven iOS developers.



From PCWorld:
Lodsys made headlines back in May when it sent legal threats to various iOS developers, alleging that their apps violated one or more of several Lodsys patents covering in-app purchases. The patent holder later alleged that while Apple itself already licensed its patents, individual developers needed their own licenses. Apple eventually responded, sending a letter to Lodsys contending that it "is undisputedly licensed to these patents and the Apple App Makers are protected by that license. There is no basis for Lodsys' infringement allegations against Apple's App Maker."
