Open Invention Network (OIN) recently announced a significant increase in the size of the OIN community of licensees during its most recent fiscal quarter. During the second quarter of 2010, OIN signed 36 new licensees and announced the recruitment of Canonical as its first associate member. This represents a 35% growth in its community of licensees, with the community currently numbering 140 open source supporters. OIN licensees, which include founding members and associate members, benefit from leverage against patent aggression and access to enabling technologies through OIN's and shared intellectual property resources.
