Defensive patent aggregation

Okay kiddo, so let's say you have a pretty cool toy that you really love playing with. But you're scared that one day, someone else might come along and take your toy away from you, or even try to copy it and make their own version.

That's where defensive patent aggregation comes in. It's like having a group of your friends all come together and promise to help protect your toy from anyone who might try to take it away or copy it.

In the world of grown-ups, companies have their own toys (which they call inventions or innovations) that they want to protect from other companies. They do this by getting something called a patent, which basically means they have a legal right to be the only ones who can use or make their invention.

But sometimes, one company might not be able to protect their patent all by themselves. That's where defensive patent aggregation comes in – it's like a big group of companies all promising to help each other out and protect each other's patents so they can't be stolen or copied by others.

By joining together in this way, companies can save money and resources by pooling their patents and working together. Plus, it helps keep those pesky copycats away from everyone's valuable toys!
