Ask HN: Obfuscation techniques against patent trolls
What are some prominent software concepts that patent trolls target? For example, somewhat recently many companies were sued by Guyzar for "keeping user sessions after a user has logged in", which would basically effect all known sites that use some form of authentication. (https://theamericangenius.com/business-news/guyzar-llc-trolling/).
I thought about renaming my authentication end-point from /api/oauth/v2 to /api/a2, or something cryptic.
Obviously, I need authentication. And I'm using OAuth. Do you see obfuscation as suitable obstacles to patent trolls, for small companies and startups?
What other concepts do patent trolls target, and how would you obfuscate them in your code to make it less obvious to the trolling lawyers?
