General Counsels See Unified Patents as a Dedicated Deterrent Partner

“As an independent third party we continue to see great success in deterring patent trolls and killing bad patents – providing proven, repeated benefits for our wide range of members,” said Kevin Jakel, CEO at Unified Patents. “We are pleased to name many of the biggest brands in the industry as members of Unified Patents’ new Cybersecurity Protection Zone, as this aids both large and small organizations in coming together to fight the sustained IP risk in the industry. General counsels repeatedly praise Unified Patents’ work that provides unending value through powerful, ongoing NPE deterrence activities that are lauded by C-Level management and board members.”

“The cybersecurity industry works best when we collaborate to address common adversaries,” said Corey Thomas, CEO of Rapid7. “Abusive patent lawsuits misuse the court system and tax economic growth and innovation in this vital industry. We looked for an effective deterrent to NPEs, and we are proud to partner with Unified and our industry colleagues to establish the Cybersecurity Protection Zone. We look forward to working with Unified and the Cybersecurity Zone to reduce frivolous patent claims against cybersecurity companies so that we can all continue to focus on preventing cyberattacks and addressing the cybersecurity challenges facing our customers.”

With an ever-expanding benefit as its membership increases, the Cybersecurity Protection Zone offers all security-focused companies an opportunity to invest in an impactful and results-oriented organization. Unified Patents never pays any money to NPEs, whether to purchase licenses or otherwise. This ensures that Unified never

incentivizes further NPE activity. Additionally, by focusing on deterrence, Unified is never in the conflicted position of negotiating a licensing deal between NPEs and defendants in litigation.
