In addition to the Linux System community cross-license (in a community which owns over 2.5 million patents and applications in total), OIN also purchases and develops our own strategic portfolio.  In other words, members also gain royalty-free access to approximately 1,300 OIN owned patents and applications across various technology segments and geographies. 

The list below includes granted patents and published applications only.  Therefore, pending applications are not included and the list numbers less than the 1,300 which OIN owns in total.
