Project Jengo Redux: Cloudflare’s Prior Art Search Bounty Returns
Cloudflare is facing another patent troll lawsuit from Sable Networks, which has already sued over a dozen technology companies. In response, Cloudflare is launching Project Jengo 2.0, offering a $100,000 bounty for prior art that can be used to invalidate Sable's patents. The company aims to turn the normal incentive structure on its head by fighting back against patent trolls and making it harder for them to file frivolous lawsuits. Prior art submissions will be made public, potentially helping others fight back against patent trolling as well.
