June 21, 2022 — New research — including that based on data from RPX and Unified Patents — indicates an unprecedented wave of patent actions related to the Financial Technology (FinTech) industry. OIN— an organization formed in 2005 to safeguard Open Source Software (OSS), and now the largest patent non-aggression community in history — shows Patent Assertion Entities’ (PAE) activities as they relate to Open Source and Fintech. Patent Lawyer Magazine highlights the study’s key findings. Also in the news, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) — Canada’s largest bank — joins OIN’s Community, following such other companies as Ally, Barclays, Sumitomo Mitsui, TD Bank and Square.
