Dear researchers, thinkers and creative practitioners,
Conflicting dynamics within the mobile ecosystem question its future and
whether it will leverage a proprietary paradigm or innovation should stem from
collaborative and communal efforts making use of open systems and open source
software.
Open innovation refers to the ways companies can benefit from distributed
knowledge, external ideas and external routes to market. This informs the idea
that most successful innovation happens not as a linear process but in
environments which encourage the circulation of ideas and approaches.
Open innovation was impeded in the past by network operators who
tried to regulate and monopolize their markets and it may again be impeded by
technology fragmentation and by the excessive use of patent infringement
allegations of one company to another. Provided that the very foundations of
mobile software licensing are based upon ownership of copyrights and patents,
and the huge amounts of money that licensing software generates, cross-industry
litigation is likely to be the norm for the foreseeable future (Laffan, 2011).
The Appsterdam Legal Foundation is dedicated to funding legal initiatives for
App Makers. Through private donations and other funding sources, the Foundation
promotes and preserves the Appsterdam community by protecting its most valuable
asset – App Makers and their business.
