Red Hat adds top intellectual property lawyers (Linux-Watch)

[Posted March 6, 2008 by cook]

Linux-Watch covers Red Hat's hiring of two intellectual property lawyers. "It's a sign of the times when a major open-source company makes a big deal of hiring not top developers, but top lawyers. On March 5, Red Hat announced that it is hiring top intellectual property attorneys Robert Tiller, as vice president and assistant general counsel, and Richard Fontana, as open-source licensing and patent counsel."

Red Hat adds top intellectual property lawyers (Linux-Watch)

It's a shame linux-watch didn't bother to actually ask anyone at Red Hat, who could have
pointed out to them that their top IP guy (Mark Webbink) retired in the fall and that these
hires are normal replacements for a really skilled, experienced lawyer, not some ramping up
for war.
