(Nasdaq: MTTR), today announced it has joined LOT Network<\/u><\/a>, the world\u2019s largest patent licensing platform and non-profit community of global companies committed to protecting themselves against costly litigation from patent assertion entities (PAEs). <\/p>\n

PAEs, also sometimes known as \u201cpatent trolls\u201d, are responsible for 88% of high-tech patent litigation in the U.S.1<\/sup>Nearly 90% of these patents are acquired via third parties and used to make money through litigation against potential infringers.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

To deter PAEs from pursuing litigation, if a PAE acquires any patent asset that was once owned by a LOT Network member, all LOT Network members receive a license to that patent, protecting them from any potential litigation and fees. LOT Network protects the world\u2019s largest companies in every industry, covering more than 3.9 million patent assets from over 3,200 members across 56 countries.<\/p>\n

Matterport\u2019s membership in LOT will reduce litigation risk, allowing the company to focus on developing innovations that further strengthen its position as the leader in digital twin solutions for the built world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an era of excessive litigation by patent assertion entities, LOT Network has proven that strength in numbers can effectively deter unnecessary patent suits,\u201d said Matt Zinn, Chief Legal Officer. \u201cThe LOT community is a smart way for operating companies to reduce the risk and expense of fighting infringement claims from patent assertion entities.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBy joining LOT Network, Matterport has made a public commitment to protecting their ecosystem from unwanted PAE litigation, thereby preserving a spirit of innovation,\u201d said Ken Seddon, CEO, LOT Network. \u201cWe are pleased to welcome them into our community of groundbreaking technology leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
