We are pleased to announce that Sophos Ltd., a security software and hardware company, is now a Unified Patents member. Products and services provided by Sophos are designed to protect users, networks, and endpoints from cyberattacks, including malware, ransomware, phishing, and exploits. Sophos is joining 300+ other companies committed to deterring the assertion of bad patents by non-practicing entities (NPEs). In 2023, NPEs still accounted for 58% of all patent litigation, similar to its 5-year average. Unified is the only entity which deters invalid patent assertions and never pays NPEs.
