We joined LOT Network because we believe it offers the best chance for good corporate citizens to lead the way towards overcoming the PAE challenge.
We are confident that our membership in the LOT Network has already protected us from frivolous lawsuits, and we look forward to it being even more powerful and protective as hundreds of new like-minded companies join.
We believe LOT Network will continue to scale quickly across industries and with companies of all sizes. The agreement is easy to understand and provides the level of protection our business and customers need while still preserving the value of our patent portfolio.
