twitter/innovators-patent-agreement · GitHub

The Innovators Patent Agreement (IPA) is a new way to do patent assignment that keeps control in the hands of engineers and designers. It is a commitment from a company to its employees that patents can only be used for defensive purposes. The company will not use the patents in offensive litigation without the permission of the inventors. This control flows with the patents, so if the company sells the patents to others, the assignee can only use the patents as the inventor intended.

What is BrowserID and how does it work? | How to | Firefox Help

trusts the browser/user but not the server/host: password managed by BrowserID, but user doesn't need to know the password. seems backwards to me. it does protect from the server being hacked, but doesn't deal with the issue of protecting your client.
