Xiaomi, e leng e mong oa baetsi ba kholo ka ho fetisisa ba li-smartphone, lisebelisoa tse bohlale le li-platform tsa IoT, o kene ho Open Invention Network (OIN), mokhatlo o ikemiselitseng ho sireletsa tikoloho ea Linux ho likopo tsa patent. Ka ho kenela OIN, khamphani e ile ea bontša boitlamo ba eona ba ho sebelisana boqapi le taolo e se nang mabifi ea litokelo tsa molao. Hoa hlokomeleha hore Linux le mahlale a bulehileng ke karolo ea bohlokoa ea lihlahisoa tsa Xiaomi mme k'hamphani e ikemiselitse ho ntšetsa pele nts'etsopele le kopanyo ea software ea mohloli o bulehileng lihlahisoa tsa eona, hammoho le ho nka karolo ho nts'etsopele ea Linux le merero e fapaneng e bulehileng.
Maloko a OIN a itlama ho se etse dikopo tsa patent le ho dumella ka bolokolohi tshebediso ya dithekenoloji tse nang le patent mererong e amanang le Linux ecosystem. Litho tsa OIN li kenyelletsa lik'hamphani, sechaba le mekhatlo e fetang 3500 e saenneng tumellano ea laesense ea ho arolelana litokelo tsa molao. Har'a barupeluoa ba ka sehloohong ho OIN, e netefatsang ho thehoa ha letamo la patent le sireletsang Linux, ke lik'hamphani tse kang Google, 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 pakeng tsa bankakarolo ba OIN e sebetsa feela ho likarolo tsa kabo tse oelang tlasa tlhaloso ea sistimi ea Linux ("Linux System"). Lenane lena hajoale le kenyelletsa liphutheloana tsa 3393, ho kenyelletsa le Linux kernel, 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, joalo-joalo. Ho phaella litlamong tse se nang mabifi, bakeng sa tšireletso e eketsehileng, OIN e thehile letamo la patent, le kenyeletsang litokelo tse amanang le Linux tse rekiloeng kapa tse fanoeng ke barupeluoa.
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.
