About us
Open Invention Network (OIN) — the largest patent non-aggression community in history & the largest free defensive patent pool with nearly 4,000 worldwide members — believes Open Source collaboration fosters faster innovation, reshapes human experiences, and creates unimagined technologies that improve our lives. In 2005, our founders shared this vision & created what has become a free, global Open Source community where member companies — of all sizes from more than 150 countries and 20+ industries — gain royalty-free access to the Linux System patents of a community that owns over 2.7 million global patents and applications in aggregate. Among many other benefits, members also receive support to protect their products & services from patent aggressors, reduce their patent risks & mitigate potential litigation. Funded by Google, IBM/Red Hat, NEC, Philips, Sony, SUSE & Toyota, OIN membership is free.
