PAE risk doesn’t stop at one company; it moves through entire supply chains. That’s why it matters when more technology manufacturers choose to strengthen their IP strategies together.

We’re pleased to welcome Cooler Master to LOT Network.

Alice Cheng, Cooler Master: “As the global patent landscape continues to evolve, we've seen increasing risks of PAEs acquiring patents and using them for litigation. Joining LOT Network was a proactive step for us to strengthen our IP strategy and make sure that innovation, not litigation, drives our growth.”

With more upstream and downstream partners joining LOT, the broader ecosystem becomes more resilient. We're glad to have Cooler Master as part of the community.
