Earlier this year, I wrote about a startup called Ditto, which launched a campaign on Indiegogo to fund patent battles against 1-800-CONTACTS and Lennon Imaging Technology or, as Ditto characterized it, to "save" the startup from "patent trolls."Since then, Ditto's story has taken a couple of turns. Over the summer, the company partnered with IPNav and its founder Erich Spangenberg. Spangenberg is an odd ally, since Ditto co-founder and CEO Kate Endress described him and IPNav as "one of the largest patent trolls in the country." However, as outlined in an IndyStar article, he reached an agreement with Endress where IPNav is paying for Ditto's legal costs, and if it wins, it gets a $1 million stake in the startup.
