A good question if he really is just using the Android API is why isn't Google intervening as Apple did in the LodSys case? He should file a motion to dismiss for lack of standing. He's not doing the infringing in that case any more than you're infringing Apples rubber banding snapback by using a Samsung phone.

The problem is that Google and Samsung can afford to defend lawsuits. Laminar Research, not so much, so they're more likely to settle.
