October 28, 2019 – Rothschild Patent Imaging (RPI) is suing the GNOME Foundation for violating its “wireless image distribution system and method patent” (US Patent No. 9,936,086).” It’s just another day at the office for Rothschild, a Non-Practicing Entity (aka a patent troll), which has filed 714 lawsuits over the past six years. But for the non-profit GNOME Foundation, this lawsuit is a real threat. Fortunately, GNOME has friends. One of them, the Open Invention Network (OIN), a pro-Linux patent non-aggression consortium, is coming to GNOME’s defense.
