Patent Risks Copyright Risks Reputational Risks

Some Linux users have There are over been involved in patent 300,000 infringement cases. Linux-related patents!!

Even if we use open source, we can’t avoid litigation completely. However, understanding all OSS-related patents would be difficult.

PARTICIPANTS +2150 FROM START-UPS TO LARGE CORPORATIONS Board members: Google, IBM, NEC, Philips, Red Hat, Sony, SUSE, Toyota

PATENTS AND +2.8M APPLICATIONS OWNED BY OIN LICENSEES

All members agree to mutually cross license, exclusively for use in the Linux System, their patents directly related to the functionality described in the OIN Linux System definition.

Non-OIN OIN members members 183,474 145,720 patents patents

If you join the OIN, you can reduce OS-related patent risk by about 44%!

OIN Board members determine what programs are subject to patent neutralization.

Toyota’s Mission as a Board Member (1) OIN Linux System Definition (Patent non-aggression/cooperation zone) 80%: Common base packages (e.g., Linux kernel) Already protected 11%: Software engineering (e.g., Perl, Python, PHP) 4%: Enterprise engineering (e.g., JBOSS, Jakarta, OpenShift) 2%: Networking & security (e.g., OpenSSL, OpenVPN) 1%: Web (e.g., Apache web server, Nginx) 1%: Cloud computing (e.g., OpenStack, Qemu, libvirt) 1%: Mobile (e.g., Android, Web OS) Under discussion AGL / IoT / Chrome at the OIN

To reduce AGL patent risks, Toyota is promoting its inclusion in a revised OIN Linux System definition by 2018.

Ten OEMs and many suppliers are already members of the OIN, and more OEMs may join it in the near future.

Risk of OSS How to getting mixed in Software Software improve supplier software. OSS governance OSS processes? Tier 2 Tier 1 OEM

OSS Updating OSS How to manage Report educational Report Educating all OSS licenses? material is suppliers is hard. difficult. Mixing OSS in the supply chain could lead to facing unknown copyright risks. A company with a weak OSS governance system could cause a supply chain bottleneck.

Major aspects of the project: Specification Self-Certification Curriculum

Platinum members: Qualcomm, Siemens, Harman, Wind River, Adobe, ARM, HPE, Cisco, GitHub, Western Digital, Toyota, Hitachi, Sony, Comcast

• OpenChain is a Linux Foundation project that aims to create and distribute standards for OSS compliance. • Toyota is both the first automaker and first Japanese company to become an OpenChain platinum member.

We’d like to follow the OpenChain OpenChain OpenChain Specification specification to set up Software Curriculum Software our OSS governance structure.
