You can help support our open source ecosystem, reduce wasteful litigation by non-practicing entities (NPEs), and stop the assertion of bad patents.The Linux Foundation
The USPTO has issued proposed rules that will make it harder for everyone in #opensource to challenge bad #patents. Let them know you want a fair and open system for all, where anyone can seek a review of an invalid patent.
This is a campaign supported by @eff, @EclipseFdn, @mozilla, Open Invention Networks (OIN), @osi, Unified Patents, and likely more as we progress.
