OIN is all sorts of things including a patent poolOIN is all sorts of things including a patent poolPosted Nov 24, 2010 17:43 UTC (Wed) by FlorianMueller (guest, #32048)In reply to: And MS gets "certain [Novell] IP assets" by armijn Parent article: Novell sold to Attachmate
In this blog post I outlined the three functions of the OIN. It buys up patents at auctions; it wants to serve as a deterrent (mutually assured damage); and it tries to establish a plurilateral cross-license agreement. All three of those activities are related to the concept of a "patent pool". The problem is just that the OIN doesn't appear to have had a verifiable positive impact in any of those areas.
