Cloudflare committed $100K in bounties to “hamstring” another patent troll.

    I had no idea Cloudflare was combating parent trolls!

      To clarify, they’re not going after patent trolls afaik, just going to court when they’re targeted by them (instead of forking up a payment to the patent troll company to avoid that). Iirc, the last patent troll they took to court ended up collapsing and isn’t operating anymore.

        Yes, that was Blackbird Technologies in 2019 (it’s mentioned in the article).
