Welcome to the RIPL Group. We are an organization devoted to encouraging the inclusion of social and environmental goals in intellectual property licensing programs. We are comprised of a group of member organizations who share our view that social and environmental commitments on the part of technology companies have great value to us all, and should be accorded a role in IP licensing. The RIPL Group believes that IP licensing can be used to further socially and environmentally responsible practices in both the developed and developing worlds.

Member organizations commit to follow a set of Responsible IP Licensing guidelines, and have committed to direct a substantial percentage of IP licensing revenue towards one or more non-profit organizations that have goals in common with the RIPL Group.

Member organizations in good standing have earned the right to use the RIPL Group brand in their IP licensing endeavors, to demonstrate their commitment to these goals.
