According to CBC News, a Canadian mobile app developer, Larry Dunkelman, has won a patent lawsuit against Dovden Investments Inc.

BusBuddy is a bus tracking application with GPS data of buses so users can see when their bus comes.  Dovden filed a suit in May claiming that Larry infringed vehicle tracking technology. Larry Dunkelman was not only one who was sued by Dovden. The company had 42 lawsuits in Canada including 32 in last year.

Geoff North, Dunkelman’s lawyer who had 3 patent suits against Dovden said that he wonders about these patent troll’s lawsuits against individuals like Larry. "We need to stop this situation from occurring because we need to be able to have people like Larry develop good things for people instead of suing people for doing so," he said to CBC News.
