Instructions for the WG Chair
The IEEE-SA strongly recommends that at each WG meeting the chair or a designee:
–
–
Show slides #1 through #4 of this presentation
Advise the WG attendees that:
• The IEEE’s patent policy is consistent with the ANSI patent policy and is described in Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards
Board Bylaws;
• Early identification of patent claims which may be essential for the use of standards under development is strongly
encouraged;
• There may be Essential Patent Claims of which the IEEE is not aware. Additionally, neither the IEEE, the WG, nor the
WG chair can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any assurance or whether any such assurance is, in fact, of a Patent
Claim that is essential for the use of the standard under development.
–
Instruct the WG Secretary to record in the minutes of the relevant WG meeting:
• That the foregoing information was provided and that slides 1 through 4 (and this slide 0, if applicable) were shown;
• That the chair or designee provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s)
and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may
be essential for the use of that standard
• Any responses that were given, specifically the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of the patent
claim(s)/patent application claim(s) that were identified (if any) and by whom.
–
The WG Chair shall ensure that a request is made to any identified holders of potential essential patent claim(s) to complete and
submit a Letter of Assurance.
It is recommended that the WG chair review the guidance in IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual 6.3.5 and in FAQs
12 and 12a on inclusion of potential Essential Patent Claims by incorporation or by reference.
–
Note: WG includes Working Groups, Task Groups, and other standards-developing committees with a PAR approved by the
IEEE-SA Standards Board.

Participants, Patents, and 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
l
“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
l
“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)
l
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

– Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of
