What an interesting group that banded together...
> Check Point Software Technologies, Inc., LinkedIn Corporation, Mozilla Corporation, Netflix, Inc., Pinterest, Inc., Roku, Inc. and Twitter, Inc. (Amici) are technology and Internet companies.
I understand why the media ones are together (MPEG, etc.) but I don't understand Checkpoint (LinkedIn as I remembered by writing this purchased Lynda.com, so it cares a lot about serving video). Can anyone explain?

- nickpsecurity 11y agoA ridiculous amount of modern tech is patented in some way. All of those companies can be hit with lawsuits over patents with too much control of outcome in hands of patent holders. The enemies of their enemies are their friends.
