IEEE Patent Policy and other Guidelines (1/4) Duty to Inform

All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants:

• “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents

- “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims

• “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)

• The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group

Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2 Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged No duty to perform a patent search

claims. – Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.

• Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.

– Technical considerations remain primary focus– Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of

customers, or division of sales markets.– Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation.– Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object.
