Experts say OpenAI's patent pledge amounts to little more than 'virtue signaling' | TechCrunch
Briefly

OpenAI's commitment to patent use is vague and non-binding, leading experts to question how 'defensive' is defined and what 'harm' encompasses in practice.
Michael Borella remarked, 'The last phrase seems to be the exception that swallows the rule,' suggesting the pledge could be interpreted to cover almost any competitor.
Experts highlight that OpenAI's patent pledge lacks the clarity found in IBM’s 2005 commitment, leaving significant ambiguity regarding its intentions and potential use.
Shubha Ghosh stated that the patent pledge is voluntary and offers no legal constraints on OpenAI's ability to enforce rights under other legal frameworks.
