IBM And Others Crack Open OSGi Patent Portfolios

The OSGi platform, a component software standard for networked computers and devices, got an intellectual boost today. Five companies and the OSGi Alliance pledged royalty-free access to patents that can speed the adoption of the technology.

Software components are increasingly important in a range of networked devices: digital mobile phones, vehicles, embedded appliances, residential gateways, industrial computers, desktop PCs, and even high-end servers.

In other words, software changes don’t need to shut down the device or reboot it.

Did You Know?

A patent protects your invention.

A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. The terms "Patent Pending" and "Patent Applied For" are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty.
