Summary

On March 20th, Cloudflare received its first patent infringement claim from Blackbird Tech LLC. The company is responding by filing an answer to the claim in a federal court in Delaware and plans to contest the lawsuit vigorously. They also plan to fund an award for a crowdsourced search for prior art that can be used to invalidate Blackbird patents, and ask relevant bar associations to investigate potential violations of rules of professional conduct by Blackbird and its attorneys. Cloudflare is against patent trolls like Blackbird Technologies, which they believe distort the judicial system and exploit inventors for their own gain.
