Foxconn Joins Open Invention Network Community
January 16, 2024 | GlobeNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Open Invention Network (OIN), the organization formed to safeguard open source and now the largest patent non-aggression community in history, announced that Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) has joined as a community member. As a leading technological solution provider and the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, Foxconn is reinforcing its commitment to open source.
“Advances in design and manufacturing propel ongoing innovation within the electronics and components industries. A key driver of these new capabilities is open source technology. Open source enables companies to share foundational technology while they invest in powerful, differentiating features and capabilities higher in the technology stack,” said Keith Bergelt, CEO of Open Invention Network. “As a global leader in the development and manufacturing of electronics and technology solutions, we are pleased that Foxconn is committed to patent non-aggression in open source.”
“Foxconn continuously looks for ways to integrate advances into the design and manufacturing of smart consumer electronics, cloud and networking equipment, computing devices and components, among others,” said Mick Lim, Director of Foxconn IP Affairs Division. “We are pleased to join the Open Invention Network and support its role in protecting open source.”
As a community, OIN members practice patent non-aggression in core Linux and adjacent open source technologies by cross-licensing Linux System patents to one another on a royalty-free basis.
