IBM

IBM strives to lead in the creation, development and manufacture of the industry's most advanced information technologies, and translates these technologies into value for its clients through its professional solutions and services businesses. IBM's pledge of patents to the Eco-Patent Commons is consistent with commitments IBM previously has made not to assert intellectual property rights for hundreds of patents involving software interoperability and the open source, healthcare and education communities. It is also consistent with IBM's longstanding commitment to environmental leadership.
