Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform June 2010 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 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Patent Related Links June 2010 All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development. Patent Policy is stated in these sources: IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/sect6-7.html#6 IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect6.html#6.3 Material about the patent policy is available at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-material.html If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/index.html This slide set is available at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Call for Potentially Essential Patents June 2010 If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: Either speak up now or Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or Cause an LOA to be submitted Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings June 2010 All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

June 2010 PAR Scope and Purpose PAR Scope: An amendment that defines modifications to both the 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 Medium Access Control Layer (MAC), to meet the legal requirements for channel access and coexistence in the TV White Space PAR Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to allow 802.11 wireless networks to be used in the TV white space Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

June 2010 Purpose, Principles and Vision/Outcome “If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”* 11-06-0056-00-0000-cbp-and-david-allens-methods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done Purpose: the Task Group should create an amendment whose implementation in solutions is likely to receive FCC approval for operation in the TV White Spaces under the 47 CFR Part 15 subpart H rules. Principles: If the FCC changes the rules, the Task Group should change the amendment accordingly The amendment should not duplicate functionality that is being standardized in other Task Groups that are likely to complete before 802.11af. There is no need for backwards compatibility with 2.45 GHz ISM operation. The starting point is changes to Clauses 17 and 20 and Annexes I and J Vision/Outcome: Use the OFDM PHYs with 5-, 10- and 20-MHz channel widths to specify the basis for a system that the regulators can approve for operation in the TVWS bands. * Yogi Berra Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Ad Hoc Teleconference Summary June 2010 Ad Hoc Teleconference Summary [Alex] Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

June 2010 Adrian’s Opinion “I have absolutely no desire to impede progress in TGaf,  but there are some things I think your group needs to be sensitive to.” Is this an official TG meeting,  or a group of friends getting together?   As regards antitrust,  it would do well for any group of competitors meeting together to be reminded of antitrust requirements, and observe these rules. As to patent, issues,  if there were attendees at this meeting who contribute IP,  but do not attend any official meetings,  they might be unaware of the IEEE rules,  and not given an opportunity to declare any known holders of IP. As to notice,  the 10-day rules is there so that nobody is disadvantaged – i.e. they can’t claim “I didn’t know about the meeting because I was on holiday/in the bath;  so your process is not fair” “I’m increasingly convinced you should make this an official TG meeting;  thereby ensuring you operate under (and are indemnified by) well defined rules.    We can easily add meetings,  provided that you don’t need one within the 10-day period.” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
