Notice: This document has been prepared to assist IEEE 802.11. It
is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the
contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this
document is subject to change in form and content after further
study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or
withdraw material contained herein.
Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the
IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and
any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards
publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards
publication even though it may include portions of this
contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to
reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards
publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that
this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802.11.
Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the
IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http://
ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the
statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s),
including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance
from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents
essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions
of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent
information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to
reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and
increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved
for publication. Please notify the Chair
<
[email protected]> as early as possible, in written
or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under
patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard
being developed within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group. If you have
questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at
<

IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in Standards
IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and
patent applications provided the IEEE receives assurance from the
patent holder or applicant with respect to patents whose
infringement is, or in the case of patent applications, potential
future infringement the applicant asserts will be, unavoidable in a
compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions
of the standard [essential patents]. This assurance shall be
provided without coercion. The patent holder or applicant should
provide this assurance as soon as reasonably feasible in the
standards development process. This assurance shall be provided no
later than the approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a
patent or patent application becomes known after initial approval
of the standard). This assurance shall be either:
a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not
enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be
required to implement either mandatory or optional portions of the
proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity complying with
the standard; or
b) A statement that a license for such implementation will be made
available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with
reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any
unfair discrimination.
This assurance is irrevocable once submitted and accepted and shall
apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard’s approval to
the date of the standard’s withdrawal.

claims
Don’t discuss the cost of specific patent use
Don’t discuss licensing terms or conditions

Copyright
Under the current US copyright law — the author of information is
deemed to own the copyright from the moment of creation
The IEEE Bylaws require copyright of all material to be held by the
IEEE
Must consult with IEEE for re-use of copyright material
The IEEE Standards accomplishes transfer of copyright ownership
through the Project Authorization Request (PAR) process
Stephen McCann, Siemens Roke Manor
doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/1653r1
The Copyright Act of 1976 made a dramatic change to U.S. copyright
law. Copyright was now deemed to exist from the moment of creation.
Thus anything that is created is deemed to be owned by its creator.
Additionally, a work no longer needs to be published in order to be
protected. Therefore, even your scribbles on a piece of note paper
constitute copyrighted material that you own and control.
The NII (National Information Infrastructure) and the GII (Global
Information Infrastructure) are causing lawmakers and copyright
owners to assess the ability of current copyright law to protect
owners rights in a digital environment. While at this point the
changes being talked about are not significant, they will make it
clear that copyright protection is afforded to owners in the
digital environment making it a requirement to honor the rights
accorded to owners.
It is a requirement under the IEEE Bylaws that copyright ownership
of all material published by the IEEE resides with the IEEE. The
Standards Department accomplishes the transfer of copyright
ownership from the volunteer authors to the Institute via the
Project Authorization Request (PAR) form.
