Rovio, the Finnish maker of the Angry Birds game, is being sued by a licensing company for infringing its patents.<\/p>\n

Lodsys has said that Rovio and other developers violated its patents with games on Apple’s iOS platform and Google’s Android.<\/p>\n

Lodsys is embroiled in lawsuits with other big technology companies, including Apple.<\/p>\n

Rovio said it had not received any direct contact regarding the complaint.<\/p>\n

“As soon as we receive more information we will take appropriate action,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Angry Birds is one of the most popular game applications.<\/p>\n

Rovio marketing chief Peter Vesterbacka said last week that the game had surpassed 300 million downloads.<\/p>\n

Lodsys, a company that licenses patents but does not have any other business, added five new defendants to a suit filed in May with a US district court in Texas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
