Foxconn o kene ho Open Invention Network (OIN), mokhatlo o ikemiselitseng ho sireletsa tikoloho ea Linux ho tseko ea litokelo tsa molao. Ka ho kenela OIN, Foxconn e bontšitse boitlamo ba eona ba ho kopanya mekhoa e mecha le tsamaiso e seng mabifi ea patent. Foxconn e maemong a bo20 har'a likhoebo tse kholo ka ho fetisisa ka lekeno (Fortune Global 500) 'me ke moetsi o moholo ka ho fetisisa oa likonteraka tsa elektronike lefatšeng (hoo e ka bang 40% ea lisebelisoa tsohle tsa elektroniki tsa bareki li etsoa Foxconn).
Litho tsa OIN li lumela ho se fane ka likopo tsa patent mme li tla lumella ka bolokolohi tšebeliso ea mahlale a nang le tokelo mererong e amanang le Linux ecosystem. Litho tsa OIN li kenyelletsa lik'hamphani tse fetang 3800, sechaba le mekhatlo e saenneng tumellano ea laesense ea ho arolelana litokelo tsa molao. Har'a barupeluoa ba ka sehloohong ba OIN, ho netefatsa ho thehoa ha letamo la patent le sireletsang Linux, ke lik'hamphani tse kang Google, Amazon, IBM, NEC, Toyota, Renault, SUSE, Philips, Red Hat, Alibaba, HP, AT&T, Juniper, Facebook, Cisco, Casio, Huawei, Fujitsu, Sony le Microsoft.
Likhamphani tse saenang tumellano li fumana tokelo ea ho fumana litokelo tsa molao tse bolokiloeng ke OIN e le phapanyetsano bakeng sa boitlamo ba ho se qose ka tšebeliso ea mahlale a sebelisoang tsamaisong ea tikoloho ea Linux. Ho kenyeletsoa e le karolo ea ho kenela OIN, Microsoft e fetiselitse tokelo ea ho sebelisa litokelo tsa eona tse fetang 60 ho bankakarolo ba OIN, ea itlama ho se e sebelise khahlano le Linux le software e bulehileng ea mohloli.
Tumellano ea OIN e sebetsa feela likarolong tsa kabo tse oelang tlas'a tlhaloso ea Sisteme ea Linux. Hona joale, lethathamo lena le kenyelletsa liphutheloana tse 3730, ho kenyeletsoa le kernel ea Linux, sethala sa Android, KVM, Git, nginx, Apache Hadoop, CMake, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, Lua, LLVM, OpenJDK, WebKit, KDE, GNOME, QEMU, Firefox, LibreOffice, Qt, systemd, X.Org, Wayland, PostgreSQL, MySQL, jj. Ntle le ditshepiso tsa ho se be mabifi, ho thehilwe letangoana la ditokelo tsa molao ka hare ho OIN bakeng sa tshireletso e eketsehileng, e kenyeletsang ditokelo tsa molao tse amanang le Linux tse rekwang kapa tse fanwang ke bankakarolo.
Letamo la patent la OIN le kenyelletsa litokelo tse fetang 1300. Ho kenyelelitsoe matsohong a OIN ke sehlopha sa litokelo tsa molao, se neng se hlahisa tse ling tsa mantsoe a pele a theknoloji ea ho theha litaba tsa marang-rang tse matla, tse neng li lebelletse ho hlaha ha litsamaiso tse kang Microsoft's ASP, Sun/Oracle's JSP le PHP. Tlatsetso e 'ngoe ea bohlokoa ke ho nkuoa ka 2009 ha litokelo tse 22 tsa Microsoft tse neng li kile tsa rekisetsoa AST consortium e le litokelo tse koahelang lihlahisoa tsa "open source". Litho tsohle tsa OIN li na le monyetla oa ho sebelisa litokelo tsena mahala. Ho sebetsa hantle ha tumellano ya OIN ho netefaditswe ke qeto ya Lefapha la Toka la United States, le neng le batla hore dikgahleho tsa OIN di elwe hloko ho ya ka dipehelo tsa tumellano ya ho rekisa dipatente tsa Novell.
