Anytime/Web - The Open Source Community vs. #Patent Trolls

Patent Trolls are an ever-growing threat to community development and global innovation. IP aggregators purchase low-quality patents and use them as leverage to hijack potential revenue and profits from technology companies, stifling growth and developer freedom. At the same time small and large development organizations alike devote more of their time and resources to defending their IP rights.
Join Keith Bergelt, CEO of Open Invention Network (OIN), Karen Copenhaver, Partner at Choate Hall & Stewart, and Black Duck Software to discuss the latest patent challenges to Linux and the open source community and ways to preserve developer freedom.
