Testimonials
“We continuously look for ways to integrate the best technologies into our smart appliances, helping to deliver products that exceed customers’ expectations. Open source helps us achieve our goal of continuous improvement in appliance technology and sustainability. We are pleased to join the Open Invention Network and support its role in protecting open source software.”
Christian FangSenior IP Counsel, Midea Group
Open Source technologies, especially Embedded Linux, have enabled the rapid development of intelligent products that can be found throughout the infrastructure of homes. LIXIL’s participation in the OIN community shows our consistent commitment to open source innovation.  
Yugo KanazawaChief Digital OfficerLIXIL
Consistent with OIN’s mission to provide freedom of action in Linux, we believe it is important to reinforce the principle that Intellectual Property (IP) enforcement should be conducted in a manner that is rational and in consonance with the collaborative process that occurs in Open Source Software (OSS). We encourage all of our members to provide their unequivocal support for the GPL Cooperation Commitment.  
Keith BergeltCEOOpen Invention Network
Spurious claims from Patent Assertion Entities divert resources and investment away from true innovation and collaboration. We also recognize that a modern approach to technology development and innovation requires a level playing field around use of open source software. With membership of LOT and OIN, we are pleased to contribute to and extend the growing global community working together to reduce the PAE threat and lower barriers to use of open source technologies.  
Lee BraineManaging Director, Chief Technology OfficeBarclays
Google has been a proud member of OIN since joining the community in 2007. Linux and adjacent open source software power the cloud-based services of today and tomorrow. Throughout, OIN has been there to ensure that open source remains safe for users, consumers, and developers alike to consume and upon which to build.
Chris DiBonaDirector of Open SourceGoogle
We continuously look for ways to integrate the best technologies in our payment solutions, which helps to deliver capabilities and services that our merchant and bank customers value and trust. We provide our customers safer and faster digital transaction services, and open source is a significant innovation driver in these offerings. We are pleased to join the Open Invention Network and support its role in protecting Open Source software.
