Please take it easy when you see the first visual indications of our paywall (a WordPress plugin named MemberPress) this Monday (Apr 21). You may see a login option, but for the next month (until the end of May) you won't need a membership to access any of our content. There may occasionally be "dummy" articles behind the paywall for test purposes, but there's no actual content there.

Even when the paywall kicks in, a fair amount of content will still be publicly available:

- anything related to AI (because ai fray is free, too)

- anything related to games (because games fray is free, too)

- anything directly related to patent pools (because we believe it's a strategically important topic that will generate even more interest in our other SEP coverage)

- anything directly related to litigation finance (such as court orders relating to funding relationships)

- 20-30% of everything else will *also* be free

We've had delays with this just because of so much else going on. Based on what you've seen on ip fray in recent months, this may be plausible -- and trust us, there's a lot going on behind the scenes (litigation finance, patent dealmaking). Also, ai fray (on AI regulation and litigation) is now well over 9K followers and may already have hit 10K by the time you read this post.

Starting June 1, there will be paywalled content. Provided that everything goes smoothly on Monday on the technical side (we've previously tested it on a separate "staging" installation, so it should), we'll begin this coming week with sending out specific offers to those who haven't received them yet. We haven't forgotten or deleted any inquiry.

In cases where serious progress is being made toward the conclusion of a subscription agreement, but something is still missing for good reason, we'll be flexible and grant access on a revocable basis. You won't lose access to any of our content if you want to have it all -- and in any event there's still going to be a lot of free content as explained further above.
