I hope Cloudflare wins this one because screw patent trolls.
I have to say though, a company that's looking at massive patent fees vs. the paltry $50k offered for someone to play lawyer for them, and the fact their security bug bounty program gets you a whole 1 year's free service + a limited edition t-shirt (!!) + on some website hall of fame...
I don't understand why their policy is literally "Let's toss 1 dollar bills at people and hopefully someone will go to bat for us!" instead of paying regular fees for real lawyers or anywhere near industry standards for bounties. It seems almost insulting.
- toyg 9y agoI think this is in addition to actual lawyering - it's an extra "public research" budget of sort, open to everyone, in the hope that people can help them amass bits of info to form an unstoppable wave of prior art.
