SCANOSS Joins Open Invention Network, Aligning with Global Tech Leaders to Strengthen Open Source Patent Protections


November 6, 2024 – SCANOSS, an open source disruptor in Software Composition Analysis (SCA), proudly joins the Open Invention Network (OIN), a global community dedicated to patent non-aggression in open-source software. By joining OIN, SCANOSS aligns with tech giants like Google, IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Toyota, all of whom share a commitment to safeguarding open-source innovation from patent risks. 

 

As the largest patent non-aggression community, OIN promotes collaboration among nearly 4,000 members, who cross-license patents to protect core Linux and open-source technologies. With this membership, SCANOSS enhances its mission to ensure secure and open software development environments, benefiting from the collective intellectual property and legal protections provided by OIN. 

 

"We are excited to join OIN and support the ongoing growth of secure, open-source solutions," stated Alan Facey, SCANOSS CEO. "This membership allows us to collaborate with industry leaders to protect the open-source community, and push for innovation while reducing patent-related risks." 

 

SCANOSS’s open source SCA solutions help developers manage software dependencies and vulnerabilities, aligning perfectly with OIN’s mission to promote open, patent-safe software ecosystems. Together, SCANOSS and OIN will work to drive technological progress without the threat of patent litigation, fostering a secure future for open-source innovation.
