Public Patent Foundation, or PUBPAT, is a nonprofit organization that seeks to limit perceived abuse of the U.S. Patent system. It was founded in 2003 by Dan Ravicher. As of 2004, there was growing concern by many technology professionals over the number of patents granted that are either too trivial to deserve protection, or duplicate existing or expired patents.
The Board of Directors is as follows:
- Dan Ravicher
- Eben Moglen
- Brian kahin
- Arti K. Rai
