In plain words

A crowdfunding platform that helps individuals and small businesses defend themselves against patent lawsuits by pooling resources for legal costs. Launched in 2016, the service is designed for companies facing patent infringement claims who lack the financial means for expensive litigation. The platform enables users to raise funds from a community of supporters to cover defense expenses, making legal protection more accessible to those without substantial patent war chests.
