Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Europe 2026

As Europe’s automotive industry pivots toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), open-source software (OSS) has become the core driver for innovation, powering Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), ADAS, and connected mobility. However, as automakers and Tier-1 suppliers transform into software developers, they face an increasingly complex patent landscape and rising exposure to Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs).

This session examines the practical utility of OIN 2.0, the newly updated framework for open-source patent non-aggression. We will explore how its expanded "Linux System" coverage shields the modern automotive, cloud, and IoT stacks. Focusing on utility, the talk addresses how European and global enterprises can leverage this community-driven, shared-responsibility model to clear patent risk royalty-free. Attendees will learn how to reduce legal overhead, secure multi-tier supply chains, and maintain freedom of action, ensuring that collaborative engineering remains safe and competitive in the next era of European mobility.
