Subject: IEEE-SA Patent Policy
Please note that updates to the IEEE-SA Patent Policy (Clause 6 of the
IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws) will become effective on 15 March 2015.
See
http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/approved-changes.pdf,
which shows the text of Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws
as it will appear once the patent policy updates are enacted.
Please also see the 'IEEE Statement Regarding Updating of its
Standards-Related Patent Policy' at
http://www.ieee.org/about/news/2015/8_february_2015.html.
You should be aware that the conduct and responsibilities of
participants within IEEE standards development groups, including the
Call for Patents process (as discussed in IEEE-SA Standards Board
Operations Manual 6.3.2 [see
http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/opman/sect6.html#6.3.2]) and
the Antitrust and Competition Policy [see
http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/antitrust.pdf], have not been
updated. This means that the normal practice for conducting working
group (standards development) meetings has not changed.
There are various patent materials available from
http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html. The
necessary items will be updated. I will send another communication to
you on (or just after) the effective date of the patent policy updates,
to let you know which items on the patent materials web page have been
updated.
If you have any questions, please address them to patcom@xxxxxxxx
