“Smartphones, intelligent devices, and IoT technology are
driving unprecedented capabilities to improve personal relationships, expand
entertainment options, make homes smarter and drive business efficiency.
Thanks to its rich technical research and development
capabilities, Xiaomi has created a significant array of products and services,
as well as a sophisticated intellectual property portfolio,” said Keith
Bergelt, CEO of Open Invention Network. “We appreciate Xiaomi joining OIN and
demonstrating its commitment to collaborative innovation and patent
non-aggression in open source.”
“Xiaomi is dedicated to bringing transparent and trustworthy
products to users, so that quality technology is accessible to everyone,” said
Mr. Cui, Xiaomi Group Vice President. “Linux and open source technology are a
core part of Xiaomi products. We will continue to develop and integrate OSS
into our products. By joining OIN, we are demonstrating our unceasing
commitment to creativity and open source. We proudly support Linux and the
development of other open source projects in a manner that is free from patent
concerns.”
OIN’s community practices patent non-aggression in core
Linux and adjacent open source technologies by cross-licensing Linux System
patents to one another on a royalty-free basis. Patents owned by Open Invention
Network are similarly licensed royalty-free to any organization that agrees not
to assert its patents against the Linux System. The OIN license can be signed
