Patent troll Sable pays up, dedicates all its patents to the public!

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has concluded its litigation against patent trolls Sable IP and Sable Networks with a victory in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The company launched Project Jengo, an effort to fight back against patent trolls by seeking prior art that can invalidate any patents held by them. Since its launch in 2017, over $125,000 has been given out to individuals through this initiative. Sable IP and Sable Networks have now agreed to pay Cloudflare $225,000, grant a royalty-free license to their entire patent portfolio, and dedicate their patents to the public, ensuring that they can never be used against another company again.
