Study on possible introduction of Software Copyright Guidelines and Trademark Guidelines. Study on complex IPR cases and possible revisions to the Policy and the Operation Procedures.Contribution to the study on Standardization and IP strategy. Discuss and promote TTC members’ needs. License of Right (LOR) & RAND
Further Study Items
14Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
License of Right (LOR) & RANDMany national patent laws provide a mechanism
allowing a patentee to voluntarily file a statement with the patent office that he is prepared to allow any person to use the invention as a non-exclusive licensee. Such a statement will be published in the official gazette, and the patentee typically enjoys a reduction of the maintenance fee. (cf. WIPO SCP/13/2*)
The LOR could ensure access to the technologies incorporated in standards at a reasonable cost (RAND) even after the patents are assigned to other parties.
