Patent Policy Review – Nicholas Orlando (IEEE)

Participants have a duty to inform the IEEE 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 Participants should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed) of the identity of any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is encouraged Slide #1

Ways to inform IEEE Cause an LOA to be submitted to the IEEE-SA (patcom@ieee.org); 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 Speak up now and respond to this Call for Potentially Essential Patents 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, please respond at this time by providing relevant information to the WG Chair Slide #2

Other guidelines for IEEE WG meetings 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 of different technical approaches that include relative costs of patent licensing terms may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain the 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- For more details, see IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and Antitrust and Competition Policy: What You Need to Know at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/antitrust.pdf Slide #3

Patent-related information The patent policy and the procedures used to execute that policy are documented in the: IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws (http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sect6-7.html#6) IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual (http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/opman/sect6.html#6.3) Material about the patent policy is available at http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org Slide #4

SPIE DCS Meeting Summary (Slide Deck on Website) (5) Objectives of the P4001 Terminology Testing, Characterization & Calibration Instrument Architecture Application Specific Influences Data Structures

Standards Presentations – Opening Remarks Suggest that Terminology, Testing, Characterization and Calibration will be our first task Collect/Borrow/Organize existing information Supplement with additional work as needed Define, but not limit the technology and innovation. Adapt as needed as we go forward Dr. David Allen – Overview of Terminology and Calibration Dr. Torbjorn Skali – Overview of Testing Methods Call for discussion

Upcoming Meeting - IGARSS https://www.igarss2018.org/default.asp IGARSS 2018, Valencia Spain July 23-27 P4001 Working Group (WG) meeting – July 24, 18:30-20:00 (Location TBD) P4001 Technology Industry Education (TIE) Forum during Conference – July 25, 08:30-10:10

Other Items of interest EMVA-1288 has reached out and would like to offer their processes and tests as reference material to the new P4001 efforts. Accepted Keynote Speech at Electronic Imaging 2018 on P4001 efforts (synched with EMVA efforts). http://www.imaging.org/site/IST/IST/Conferences/EI/Symposium_Overview.aspx January 13-17 - Burlingame, CA Made contact with ENVI (Harris Corp) team to talk about header information being used for standard/test & data structure information. Positive response. TC211 for ISO has also lent their support to the P4001 group on data structures and standards (see SPIE workshop slides) Comments by SJS?

Working with ISO/TC211 ISO/TC211 publishes standards relevant to our work ISO 19115 – Metadata ISO 19159 – Cal/Val of imagery sensors and data ISO 19130 – Imagery sensor models for geo-positioning Members of TC211 are National Standards Bodies. Work also done by liaison organizations such as: IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Defence Geospatial Information Working Group International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Joint development would require submitting a proposal for approval by Members We could also develop and publish as IEEE standard and then take to ISO for rebranding as a derived work, possibly with modifications In either case it was suggested that we set up cooperative agreement between IEEE-SA and ISO/TC211
