Open Invention Network (OIN), yomwe cholinga chake ndi kuteteza chilengedwe cha Linux ku zonena za patent, pakukulitsa mndandanda wamaphukusi omwe ali pansi pa mgwirizano wopanda patent ndikupereka mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito matekinoloje ena ovomerezeka kwaulere.
Mndandanda wa zigawo zogawira zomwe zimagwera pansi pa tanthauzo la dongosolo la Linux ("Linux System"), zomwe zimagwirizana ndi mgwirizano pakati pa omwe atenga nawo gawo pa OIN, wawonjezedwa mpaka . Maphukusi atsopano omwe ali pamndandandawu akuphatikizapo dalaivala wa exFAT, KDE Frameworks, Hyperledger, Apache Hadoop, Robot OS (), Apache Avro, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), Eclipse Paho ndi Mosquito. Kuphatikiza apo, magawo omwe adalembedwa papulatifomu ya Android tsopano akuphatikiza kutulutsidwa kwa Android 10 pamalo otseguka (Android Open Source Project).
Mwachidule, tanthauzo la dongosolo la Linux limakwirira , kuphatikizapo Linux kernel, Android platform, KVM, Git, nginx, CMake, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, Lua, LLVM, OpenJDK, WebKit, KDE, GNOME, QEMU, Firefox, LibreOffice, Qt, systemd, X. Org, Wayland, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. Chiwerengero cha mamembala a OIN omwe asayina chiphaso chogawana patent chaposa makampani, madera ndi mabungwe 3300.
Makampani omwe asayina panganoli amapeza mwayi wopeza ma patent omwe ali ndi OIN posinthana ndi udindo wokana kutsatira malamulo ogwiritsira ntchito matekinoloje omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu Linux ecosystem. Mwa omwe atenga nawo gawo pa OIN, kuwonetsetsa kupangidwa kwa dziwe loteteza Linux, ndi makampani monga Google, IBM, NEC, Toyota, Renault, SUSE, Philips, Red Hat, Alibaba, HP, AT&T, Juniper, Facebook, Cisco, Casio, Huawei, Fujitsu, Sony ndi Microsoft. Mwachitsanzo, Microsoft, yomwe idalumikizana ndi OIN musagwiritse ntchito ma patent anu opitilira 60 zikwi motsutsana ndi Linux ndi pulogalamu yotseguka.
Phukusi la patent la OIN limaphatikizapo ma patent opitilira 1300. Kuphatikizapo m'manja mwa OIN gulu la ma patent omwe ali ndi mawu oyamba aukadaulo wopangira zinthu pa intaneti omwe amachitira chithunzi machitidwe monga Microsoft's ASP, Sun/Oracle's JSP, ndi PHP. China chothandizira kwambiri ndi mu 2009, ma Patent 22 a Microsoft omwe anali atagulitsidwa kale ku AST consortium ngati ma patent omwe amaphimba zinthu za "open source". Onse otenga nawo gawo ku OIN ali ndi mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito ma patent awa kwaulere. Kutsimikizika kwa mgwirizano wa OIN kunatsimikiziridwa ndi chigamulo cha Dipatimenti Yachilungamo ya US, ganizirani zokonda za OIN potengera kugulitsa kwa ma Patent a Novell.
