4. Jack Dorsey’s tweet on Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance
Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square, a payments company, tweeted on how Square’s Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) enhances existing technologies without the threat of patent litigation, which is restricting mass adoption and innovation of cryptocurrencies.
COPA uses a dual approach to deal with patent lockup. Firstly, each member of COPA assures to not use their crypto patents against each other, except for defence. Secondly, COPA creates shared patent library to form collective shield of patents where every member in the community even a small company can use the patent to defend against patent aggressors.
Square is putting all of our crypto patents into a new non-profit org we’re calling the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, which will maintain a shared patent library to help the crypto community defend against patent aggressors and trolls. Join us! #bitcoinhttps://t.co/I9VopgtMz9
