GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 1. Background 1. Background of Task Force on Patent Policy In Nov. 2004, the Secretary-General of ISO expressed an opinion to the Director of TSB that a common patent policy should be established between the three organizations, noting that some members of ISO raised this issue at their General Assembly in Sept. 2004 In Nov. 2004, ITU-T Study Group Chairmen meeting raised the issue of common patent policy with ISO and IEC 2. WSC action The ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC World Standards Cooperation (WSC) at its meeting in Feb. 2005 established a Task Force, comprising of staff members of the organizations The TF used the ITU-T text as a base. The first draft of the Common Policy was submitted to the WSC meeting on 10 Feb. 2006 GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 2. Discussion at WSC 2006 The WSC, at its meeting in Feb. 2006, agreed on the draft text submitted by the TF, requested ITU, ISO and IEC to take measures to formally endorse the text and to maintain the TF to monitor its implementation The TF is developing a common Implementor’s Guide, noting that each organization can develop its own Implementor’s Guide to take care of its individual needs GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

3. Adoption of the Common Patent Policy text ITU-T: Planned to be approved at the IPR Ad Hoc Group meeting 27-28 June 2006 and to be endorsed by TSAG at its meeting 3-7 July 2006 ITU-R: Radio Advisory Group will meet next in January 2007 ISO: Approved by ISO Council March 2006* IEC: Approved by the IEC Council Board (CB) March 2006* * Approved with one modification; see subsequent text. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

4. Full text of the Common Policy [Draft] Common Patent Policy for ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC The following is a "code of practice" regarding patents covering, in varying degrees, the subject matters of ITU‑T Recommendations, ITU-R Recommendations, ISO deliverables and IEC deliverables (for the purpose of this document, ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations are referred to as “Recommendations”, ISO deliverables and IEC deliverables are referred to as “Deliverables”). The rules of the "code of practice" are simple and straightforward. Recommendations | Deliverables are drawn up by technical and not patent experts; thus, they may not necessarily be very familiar with the complex international legal situation of intellectual property rights such as patents, etc. Recommendations | Deliverables are non-binding; their objective is to ensure compatibility of technologies and systems on a worldwide basis. To meet this objective, which is in the common interests of all those participating, it must be ensured that Recommendations | Deliverables, their applications, use, etc. are accessible to everybody. It follows, therefore, that a patent embodied fully or partly in a Recommendation | Deliverables must be accessible to everybody without undue constraints. To meet this requirement in general is the sole objective of the code of practice. The detailed arrangements arising from patents (licensing, royalties, etc.) are left to the parties concerned, as these arrangements might differ from case to case. [cont’d on next page] GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

4. Full text of the Common Policy (cont’d) [cont’d from previous page] This code of practice may be summarized as follows: 1 The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB), the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau (BR) and the offices of the CEOs of ISO and IEC are not in a position to give authoritative or comprehensive information about evidence, validity or scope of patents or similar rights, but it is desirable that the fullest available information should be disclosed. Therefore, any party participating in the work of ITU, ISO or IEC [putting forward a standardization proposal*] should, from the outset, draw the attention of the Director of ITU-TSB, the Director of ITU-BR, or the offices of the CEOs of ISO or IEC, respectively, to any known patent or to any known pending patent application, either their own or of other organizations, although ITU, ISO or IEC are unable to verify the validity of any such information. 2 If a Recommendation | Deliverable is developed and such information as referred to in paragraph 1 has been disclosed, three different situations may arise: 2.1 The patent holder is willing to negotiate licences free of charge with other parties on a non-discriminatory basis on reasonable terms and conditions. Such negotiations are left to the parties concerned and are performed outside ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC. 2.2 The patent holder is willing to negotiate licences with other parties on a non-discriminatory basis on reasonable terms and conditions. Such negotiations are left to the parties concerned and are performed outside ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC. 2.3 The patent holder is not willing to comply with the provisions of either paragraph 2.1 or paragraph 2.2; in such case, the Recommendation | Deliverable shall not include provisions depending on the patent. 3 Whatever case applies (2.1, 2.2 or 2.3), the patent holder has to provide a written statement to be filed at ITU-TSB, ITU-BR or the offices of the CEOs of ISO or IEC, respectively, using the appropriate "Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration" form. This statement must not include additional provisions, conditions, or any other exclusion clauses in excess of what is provided for each case in the corresponding boxes of the form. ***************** * Both ISO and IEC approved the text subject to removing the words “putting forward a standardization proposal” GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
