 Great, thanks very much. It's a pleasure to be with you. If I speak too quickly because I feel like 15 minutes is a brief period to discuss the topic, then just raise your hand and I'll slow down. As I said, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for the invitation. And what I'm going to talk about today is an activity within the context of the broader open source community that we're involved in. What I do is run something called Open Invention Network. Open Invention Network is essentially a collaborative enterprise that enables influences and defends. It seeks to work on the periphery of the open source community, the Linux community, to enable a clear path so that patents are not an obstacle to the advancement of Linux in particular and of open source more broadly. And so what we're active in doing is acquiring patents, providing them on a royalty free basis to whomever wants to take a license to them. There are no fees, the only agreement that you have to have as consideration for the licenses that you want to do the Linux community. We are looking to expand our activities to be more activist and more responsive. And some of the things I'll be talking about in the next 14 minutes or so will be how we go about doing that and how we try to create more of a more connective tissue with the broader community so that we can be a resource and the capital that IBM, Red Hat, Novell, Sony, Philips and NEC have put at my disposal can be used well in support of the community to again to enable influence and defend the community from attacks and to ensure that patents have a de minimis effect on what happens within the community. You create the community, you create the direction, Linux and open source is this wonderfully elegant self-organizing, self-regulating community. Our goal is not to interfere or intervene in that community at all, but only to work on the periphery to ensure that patents don't have a negative impact on the community's evolution. Whatever evolution, whatever application space, mobile Linux obviously was talked about this morning as a key area. That's one of the areas that we actively look to protect. We look at key application areas in emerging trends like virtualization, security, file server choice for Linux is an important one that's evolving toward an ultimate decision point. We look at relational database, a number of other key areas, applications that are beyond the kernel. We don't restrict what we do just to the kernel. Talk a little bit about Linux defenders. Within the context of what we do, you see that we acquire patents, we have this directed invention activity. We're looking to take patents out of play that are going to be relevant to the Linux roadmap. Where Linux may go, we acquire patents. We also look to have an active deterrent against those who might have negative views about Linux and have an antagonistic view toward innovation, toward true innovation, the kind of innovation that can come from open source and has come from open source. What we're looking to do is ensure that the notion of increasing returns, which is an economic theory developed by Brian Arthur at Stanford, which is a notion that one plus one can equal five or equal six or something very significant beyond two, where traditional development approaches, siloed, inefficient use of capital that we've had in technology development historically, has only allowed for one plus one to equal two. Sometimes it equals one and a half, unfortunately. And so, in creating this no fly zone, we've acquired these patents, we licensed them as I said earlier. We then invent patents, defensive publications, and patents with defensive publications. We're not anti-patent, but we recognize that we need to provide tools to the community that may have different views about viability of software patents. We don't get into the religious debate. We look at the past and say that software patents have been issued in some jurisdictions. We want to make sure those software patents are not used against the broader open source community and against Linux, so we actively look to interdite negative behaviors by trolls. We work with trolls to make sure that before they sue anyone, they come to us and we can potentially make the potential litigation go away by coming up with some kind of agreement or pointing out to them that their case is probably not as strong as they think it is and that they should probably consider other targets and stay away from the open source community. I'll talk about defensive publications and how, one of the main thrusts of what I want to talk about today are defensive publications. The program that we have around Linux defenders, we just opened up, we had it on a trial basis and we just opened it up to the broader population so that it's now available for anyone to come onto the Linux defender's site and something that existed and was largely used by in the more proprietary community was something called peer to patent. What we've done is created a portal to peer to patent and we're inviting the open source community to come in and deal with support of certain challenge that we have. A lot of applications that are still coming in because patent reform hasn't occurred in the US, the legislative reform hasn't occurred which drives regulatory reform and a different approach to what is patentable. That's coming but that's still 18 months out at the outside. We think it might be 12 months but be that as it may, our view is that whatever happens in the legislative side, the regulatory side and on the judiciary in terms of reforming and fixing the extremely liberal patent approach that's been taken since the early 90s in the US, well they're going to do what they can do. Those legislative processes rife with compromise so as a result what we're trying to do is create a situation where we're enabling or facilitating market-based reform where the market and it's really the people in this room, the people that are out in the hall, the people that were in the amphitheater this morning and then the tens of thousands of other people who are in the development community that we want to enlist the support of to be able to for applications, patent applications that have prior art that the patent and trademark office doesn't have the time, resource or capacity to identify but you know there is prior art, look at the website, see that see these patent applications that are up there, contribute prior art, show that they were prior references, we can then have those patents through a relationship with the patent and trademark office, have those patent applications rejected. A lot of things are still coming through, the program is still too liberal and there's far too many patents granted and we're supportive and I'm supportive personally of high quality patents, let's get back to the system. Patents have their place, patents don't necessarily have a place in the community that you participate in and so what we're trying to do is deal with the legacy of this liberal patent environment particularly in the US and but you can become involved in helping to provide prior art so that these applications that shouldn't be granted get rejected. You can also help on the on what's called post-issue peer-to-patent, patents that have already been granted where there's prior art. The first case, the peer-to-patent was for applications, they haven't yet been granted, this is for patents that have already been granted that maybe are three, four, five, ten years old, however old they might be. We're identifying patents that we see in the market that are out there that are problematic and we're inviting you as members of the community to come in, identify prior art, we'll take that prior art, we'll take it and package it in such a way that we can request a re-examination from the Patent and Trademark Office and have those patents invalidated so we can reject, get rejections of applications and get invalidation of existing patents. In addition, the defensive publications activity is in a very real sense if you have this particular mindset of being extremely negative towards software patents, as many people do, then this is your vehicle. Defensive publications are an accepted means of intellectual property rights management. If you have ideas, I mean there are tens of thousands of inventions that the Linux community alone, let alone the broader open source community, has authored but they're not in a format that can be utilized to ensure that no one over patents those ideas. With as active a patent environment as we have and as liberal a policy program as we have in the United States, it's a situation where what we'd like to do is facilitate your codification of inventions. Even if everyone in this room just took the top five inventions that they had and invented them through this process, what it is is it in some sense an anti-patent. You basically codify what you know in a certain structure, you put it on a database, you make sure the patent trademark officers see it, which is what we would do and that we would bear all the costs of production. You would provide the contribution and the invention, but that ensures that no one can ever use it to restrict other people's behaviors. It basically enables freedom of action and freedom to operate. And I think irrespective of our views on patents, everyone can agree I believe in this forum that freedom of action and freedom operates what we seek. That's what I'm looking to protect and that's what I'm looking to affirm. And one way you can help me is to contribute your ideas as inventors in this alternative medium of intellectual property, not patents, but contributing defensive publications. These restrict others from gaining access to patents that they can then use against you or against anyone in the community. What we're looking to do is ensure that there are not only the first hundred that we've gotten from this program in the last two months, but there are thousands every year that are produced that prevent patenting in open source. Linux Defenders 9.1.1 is another program that hangs off of this activity. There are a number of companies that are being approached on a daily basis, large companies, small companies, that are approached by large companies about we have these patents and we think that these read on Linux and you're going to have to take a license from us, otherwise we're going to shut you down. A lot of threats and a lot of rhetoric, different strategies for different sized companies. In some cases large companies are being encouraged to take licenses and they're being subsidized by the licensor. The large aggressor company that in this case has been active is seeking to get people to sign these, sign what seemed like very innocent no-cost licenses so that over time in six months, nine months a year, they can show 50 or 60 Fortune 500 companies and so look, all these Fortune 500 companies licensed our IP, our patents because they view it's important to have it to operate Linux and so they want to create a rebuttable presumption, a false but rebuttable presumption that you need their patents in order to participate in Linux, which you don't. So we're looking to educate and communicate with the community and have them communicate with us. If you're attacked, if your company gets a call, that's a threatening call from another company, let us know. We can help, we have relationships across the universe of legal teams and we have assets that we can use ourselves to help look at the patents that are being asserted against you. We can identify talent that can work with you as well, that's modest cost or no cost even because lots of people in the legal community, there are people here today, there are people in the states, people all throughout Europe, they're interested in helping you navigate through the legal issues that are out there related to patenting and related to copyright. So peer to patent, post-issue peer to patent to summarize defensive publications, these are activities that were involved in, these are the core activities in our defensive activity on Linux defenders. It's a program that was launched in late November, early December, we've already had very significant uptake and Linux defenders 9-1-1 is essentially, this is all part of market-led reform designed to enable the community to continue to grow in advance without fear of concern or concern that patents will impair your ability to contribute to a certain platform. As I said, Mobile Linux is one of the core platforms that we're focused on right now because regardless of whether it's a Symbian Mobile Linux platform or whether it's an Android Mobile Linux platform, we're intent on ensuring that there are protections so that patents do not derail the ability of the user community, the general population to uptake and recognize that what Mobile Linux represents is electronic clay. It's the opportunity for the broader development community to engage in and build applications that allow for the localization, regionalization and nationalization of devices so that they're no longer the same product you buy in Tokyo as the same product you buy in Stockholm or the same product that you buy in New York. These are devices. Devices are now becoming more extensions of ourselves and Sergey Brunner, the people at Google, get this as well as anybody that this is really the realization of what we used to call the 90s software-definable radio. It's a device that fits with who we are. Thanks very much for your time and I think we covered everything.
