Don't ignore him! Its would be a very good thing if you'd just call him and explain the prior art to him and gently steer him toward not wasting his time and money pursuing a patent that won't be granted.

Of course you might head off the serendipitous granting of a ridiculous patent that might fall into the hands of a real troll ala Lodsys later. If he refuses to listen to reason, you might look into sending the prior art to the patent office in reference to his application.

Downvote? Really? I just thought that maybe the guy might actually not be the awful troll that we instinctively leap to the conclusion that he is. He might just be a guy who really doesn't grok how all this works.

Could a simple call to find out really be that bad. (seriously IANAL so I really don't know)

I think he's just an idiot who happens to be inadvertently trolling. Not a professional troll. It seems like he really does want to sell his goofy cloud motion and probably thinks he's the new new. Whatever.
