You Patented It… But Did Open Source Just Blow It Up? The Legal Risks of Using Open Source Code Ep. 174
About this episode
This episode discusses the legal implications of using open-source code in relation to patent rights.
You spent the time, filed the application, and finally got the patent. Everything feels locked in… until someone casually mentions that part of your product uses open-source code. Uh oh. In this episode, we unpack how open-source licenses can quietly collide with patent rights, when using open-source tools is totally fine, and when it can seriously undermine your ability to enforce a patent. If you've ever built fast using shared code and assumed patents would clean things up later, this is a must-listen before that assumption comes back to bite you.
