Patents problems faced by Open-Source Projects and Companies
Open Source Projects and Companies across the globe do not file for patents or believe in filing patents.
However Open Source projects and Companies have been easy targets of Operating Companies and Non Practising Entities (NPE).
Open Source Projects and Companies are easy targets for Operating Companies and Non Practising Entities as they lack a defensive Strategy as well as they do not have financial capacity to defend themselves from Non Practicing Entities.
Non Practicing Entities and Operating Entities exploit this lack of resources and understanding of the Patent Regime and send notice of Patent Infringement or Litigate.
