Patent Troll Battle Update: Doubling Down on Project Jengo

Cloudflare has received an overwhelming response to its blog posts on patent trolls and its program for finding prior art on Blackbird Tech patents, dubbed Project Jengo. The company is significantly expanding the program and has received $50,000 from an anonymous benefactor to help invalidate all of Blackbird Tech's patents. Cloudflare aims to find prior art on 100% of the Blackbird Tech patents and will update a chart as they review submissions. The company is also working with lawmakers in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Delaware to advance new laws that limit the practices of patent trolls, including Blackbird Tech's "new model."
