With the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware hack, the SolarWinds software supply chain attack, and the early 2021 rush to patch vulnerable Exchange servers, cybersecurity is top of mind for everyone today, including the open source community. In order to meet the cybersecurity challenges of tomorrow, we must invest and rapidly deploy new, innovative systems with open source solutions. A potential impediment to this is the growth of cybersecurity technology-related intellectual property lawsuits. Mr. Bergelt will discuss the benefits of an IP strategy that enables open source innovation in this space. He will showcase some of the strategies that open source community members can implement by working through defensive patent management and risk reduction programs authored by entities like RPX, LOTnet, Unified Patents and AST to reduce Patent Assertion Entity (PAE) and operating company risk. Finally, Mr. Bergelt will explain how cybersecurity market participants like IBM, Microsoft, Broadcom, Checkpoint, Cisco, Sophos, Trend Micro, and others are benefiting from patent non-aggression through free membership in the Open Invention Network (OIN).
