			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been reading about the Lodsys patent lawsuits against iOS developers.  Fortunately Powermad Software hasn&#8217;t managed to end up on their radar, but I can&#8217;t help but think about the ones that are.  They probably started out not much bigger than Powermad&#8217;s single-digit sized development team.</p>
<p>I think what this comes down to is assumptions.  There <em>are</em> development houses that managed to land themselves large amounts of venture capital or financing to fund a large staff, advertising, etc.  I wonder if Lodsys makes that assumption about <em>all</em> iOS developers &#8211; that we all have large staffs and lots of extra funding sitting around, or possibly an insurance policy, and if they shake each of us hard enough, we&#8217;ll cough up a little.</p>
<p>So in the hopes of never hearing from Lodsys, I&#8217;ll be happy to announce that Powermad Software has no venture capital, no financing, and no advertising budget.  There is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, only a cartoon mouse.  We are the Power of Small.</p>
