I-Open Invention Network (OIN), inhlangano ezinikele ekuvikeleni i-ecosystem ye-Linux ezimangalweni zelungelo lobunikazi mayelana nokwakha, kanye ne-IBM, i-Linux Foundation kanye ne-Microsoft, iqembu lokuvikela isofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile ekuhlaselweni ama-patent troll abangenazo izimpahla futhi abaphila kuphela ngamacala omthetho kusetshenziswa amalungelo obunikazi angabazekayo. Iqembu elidaliwe lizohlinzeka ngokusekela enhlanganweni endaweni yokuthola ubufakazi bokusetshenziswa kwangaphambi kwesikhathi noma ukungasebenzi kwamalungelo obunikazi okubandakanyeka ezinqubeni ezibandakanya i-Linux nesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile.
Ngu Ngo-2018, inhlangano ye-Unified Patents yaqala izinqubo ezingu-49 ngama-patent troll, abamangalelwa ababehlobene nokuthuthukiswa kwesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile. Isamba sezilingo ezinjalo ezingama-2012 zirekhodwe kusukela ngo-260. Isibonelo sokuhlaselwa kwe-patent troll ku-software yomthombo ovulekile esakamuva ne-GNOME Foundation.
I-United Patents iyiqembu lezinkampani ezingaphezu kuka-200 ezisebenza ndawonye ukuze zilwe nama-patent troll futhi zenze kube nzima kakhulu ukumangalela ama-patent troll ngokuwenza abize kakhulu ukuhlasela ngenxa yezindleko zomthetho. Ama-Patent Ahlanganisiwe awahlosile ukuwina icala, kodwa akwenza kucace kuma-troll ukuthi izolwa futhi ivikele izintshisekelo zamalungu ayo. Njengomphumela, ukumangalelana nombambi qhaza Wama-Patent Ahlanganisiwe kungase kubize kakhulu ku-troll kunezinkokhelo i-troll ehlose ukuzithola (isibonelo, ukubhekana ngempumelelo kungathatha izinyanga ezingu-6 futhi kubhekane nezindleko zomthetho ezingafika ku-$2 million). Esinye isibonelo sakamuva yilesi ngo-Okthoba, inqubo lapho isimangalo sikaLyft sanqatshwa futhi i-troll yaba nezindleko ezinkulu.
Ukuphikisana nama-patent troll kuyinkimbinkimbi yiqiniso lokuthi i-troll iphethe impahla yengqondo kuphela, kodwa ayiqhubeki imisebenzi yentuthuko nokukhiqiza, ngakho-ke akunakwenzeka ukuletha isimangalo ngokumelene naye esihlobene nokwephulwa kwemigomo yokusetshenziswa kwamalungelo obunikazi kunoma yimiphi imikhiqizo. , futhi okusele wukuzama ukufakazela ukungahambisani komkhiqizo osetshenziswa ekufuneni ilungelo lobunikazi.
Ngenxa yesinyathelo se-OIN, i-IBM, i-Linux Foundation kanye ne-Microsoft, i-Uniified Patents manje isidale iqembu elithi "Open Source Zone" elizocwaninga amalungelo obunikazi futhi liphikisane nemisebenzi ye-patent troll ezindaweni ezihlobene nesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile. Ukukhuthaza umsebenzi wokuhlaziya ilungelo lobunikazi, Amalungelo Obunikazi Ahlanganisiwe anohlelo lomklomelo lokuthola ukusetshenziswa kwangaphambili kobuchwepheshe obunelungelo lobunikazi. Umvuzo ungafika ku-$10 (wokuthola ubufakazi bokusetshenziswa kwangaphambilini kwelungelo lobunikazi elihilelekile ecaleni elibhekene ne-GNOME, ngamarandi angama-2500).
