Open Invention Network's Jerry Rosenthal Answers Your Questions (Groklaw)

[Posted December 13, 2006 by corbet]

Groklaw interviews Jerry Rosenthal of the Open Invention Network. "What would an OIN defense look like? Typically, our first action would be to contact the organization that is claiming patent infringement. Our goal would be to have a conversation where we allow them to license our IP in return for a license to their patents. If necessary, we might demonstrate how their products might infringe on our patents. Legal proceedings for patent infringement would be our last resort. While we can adequately handle the latter, our goal is to build the Linux ecosystem with the former."
