What Crypto Open Patent Alliance does
Mission
The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (copa) is a non-profit community of like-minded people and companies formed to encourage the adoption and advancement of crypto technologies and to remove patents as a barrier to growth and innovation. Copa acknowledges that crypto technology is built on the collaborative efforts of a community made up of developers, engineers, and designers. The success of crypto is a direct result of the community coming together to build and develop upon existing technologies for the benefit of all, and we believe copa will help this happen.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Anyone can join and benefit from copa, regardless of whether they have patents or not. There is no barrier to entry - members can be individuals, start-ups, small companies, or large corporations.copa members pledge never to use their crypto-technology patents against anyone, except for defensive reasons, effectively making their patents freely available for all to use.
The program described on its FY2023 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $382k to $4.5M (+1075%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
3% of CRYPTO OPEN PATENT ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
