The Project Jengo Saga: How Cloudflare Stood up to a Patent Troll – and Won!

What this post added

This post details Cloudflare's successful defense against a patent troll (Blackbird Technologies) and the subsequent "Project Jengo" initiative. Project Jengo involved crowdsourcing prior art to invalidate the troll's patents, leading to hundreds of submissions and the identification of damaging prior art for multiple patents. The post highlights specific examples of prior art found for patents related to internet resource retrieval, illuminated product packaging, and sports bras with storage pouches. Additionally, it describes an ex parte reexamination of patent '7,797,448' (GPS-internet Linkage) based on community prior art, which resulted in the patent's cancellation.
