People Are Open-Sourcing Their Patents and Research to Fight Coronavirus
A global group of scientists and lawyers announced their efforts to make their intellectual property free for use by others working on coronavirus pandemic relief efforts—and urged others to do the same—as part of the “Open Covid Pledge.”
Mozilla, Creative Commons, and Intel are among the founding members of this effort; Intel contributed to the pledge by opening up its portfolio of over 72,000 patents, according to a press release.
Participants are asked to publicly take the pledge by announcing it on their own websites and issuing a press release.
