Why OIN 2.0 & Why Now?

For over 20 years, Open Invention Network has fostered open source innovation through patent non-aggression, helping reduce risk and encourage collaboration.

OIN 2.0 builds on that foundation by transitioning to a community-funded model that ensures the long-term sustainability of the organization.
