PATENT TROLL SABLE PAYS UP, DEDICATES ALL ITS PATENTS TO THE PUBLIC!
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Cloudflare won a patent infringement lawsuit against Sable, a patent troll who asserted patents relating to old hardware-based router technologies against Cloudflare's modern software-defined services. A jury found that Cloudflare did not infringe Sable's patent and that the asserted patent claim is invalid. Sable agreed to pay Cloudflare $225,000, grant Cloudflare a royalty-free license to its entire patent portfolio, and dedicate its patents to the public.
