OIN has over 3K+ licensees as a part of patent non aggression community now, because Open Source is "must use" technology for companies and thus companies must address patent risk in Open Source. On the other hand, companies can feel caught in between open source culture and traditional patent culture especially in the case of companies that own large number of patents.
In this panel, we invite Licensee and Member companies of OIN to share their reason why they joined OIN, how they decided this and what kind of discussion happened internally. In addition, current state of affairs and what they are expecting in the future for OIN will be discussed.
