Open Invention Network starts buying patents
,----[ Quote ]
| The Open Invention Network (OIN) today announced that it was starting a new
| programme to acquire patents from "entrepreneurial inventors". The
| Distinguished Inventors Patent Acquisition programme offers cash for accepted
| patents while allowing the inventor to patent enhancements to the accepted
| patent. The OIN believe the programme will help independent inventors turn
| their patents into money, without them selling their patents to patent
| trolls, or companies seeking to "impede innovation".

Open Invention Network Announces Launch of Distinguished Inventors Patent
Acquisition Program With Purchase of V_Graph Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Invention Network (OIN), a collaborative enterprise that enables
| innovation in open source and an increasingly vibrant ecosystem around Linux,
| today announced the launch of its Distinguished Inventors Patent Acquisition
| program. The program is focused on entrepreneurial inventors, typically
| unaffiliated with large corporate entities, who have authored key technology
| patents. The Distinguished Inventors Patent Acquisition program offers
| upfront cash consideration for accepted patents and support for further
| advances in the technology and onward patenting by the original inventor. The
| program will be an attractive alternative for independent inventors seeking
| to monetize their patents but not wishing to sell to patent trolls
| or "corporate trolls" who seek to use patents to impede innovation and
| competition.

Why not use the money to combat this unjust system that's a welfare programme
for lawyers? Because IBM (among others) is behind OIN and it loves patents?
