Submissions-list-TGai-Atlanta
Recess until EVE
As you may know, we have the schedule, which was approved by TG with consensus.
Unfortunately I did not get all required actions of submissions by the deadline date.
Of course the schedule would be revised if needed.
However it is not same to ignore the schedule
Now we are moving on to the more actual discussions, then we have to care more about fairness.
I would like to accept all of submissions, however I may not commit to accept request, which violates the deadline in the future.
Again I would like to ask all of members to keep the deadline of submissions for our efficient work.

14. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
Jan 2012
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
Hiroshi Mano (ATRD, Root, Lab)

Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation.
Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object.
