Stack Overflow has a site for that: http://askpatents.com/
They had their first (major) success: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2013/07/22.html
My other suggestion, if you think you might get sued for a particular aspect of your app, try to isolate it as much as possible. For instance, if you have an app that makes money through ads. Form one company that makes the app and another that pays a nominal fee to display ads in that app. One Company makes the money, the other "infringes."
Finally, get any lawyer, any one that will agree to represent you and file a declarative action in your jurisdiction to invalidate your claim.
Just my 2 cents. Maybe some real patent lawyers can chime in.
