IEEE Patent Policy
The contributor is familiar with the IEEE Patent Policy, which is set forth
in the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws
http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws and includes the statement:
"IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent
applications, if there is technical justification in the opinion of the
standards-developing committee and provided the IEEE receives assurance from
the patent holder that it will license applicants under reasonable terms and
conditions for the purpose of implementing the standard."
