<h1>Patent Policy Activity Statement</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p class="firstelement">The Patent Policy Activity's goal is to enable W3C to
|
|
implement and successfully operate the <a href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/">
|
|
W3C Patent Policy</a>. The policy was put into place in February 2004,
|
|
and the work of developing and implementing it is complete. It is important
|
|
that the W3C community have an organized way to monitor application of
|
|
the policy as well as remain informed about relevant developments in
|
|
the legal and standards environment.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Highlights Since the Previous Advisory Committee Meeting</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p class="firstelement">The <a href="psig/Overview.html">Patent and Standards
|
|
Interest Group</a> (PSIG) is now operational. It responded to W3C Member's questions
|
|
around the Patent Policy. It also gave advise on several new entries in the
|
|
<a href="../../2003/12/22-pp-faq.html">Patent Policy FAQ</a>.
|
|
was launched in December 2004 and started operations.
|
|
Several questions were addressed and suggestions were delivered to the W3C Team. There was no public
|
|
statement as all questions addressed Member confidential matters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The PSIG is addressing questions around the Patent Policy,
|
|
including the difficult balancing of Patent Policy commitments
|
|
in the new <a href="http://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/cla/">W3C Community Contributor License Agreement (CLA)</a>. Evidently, the PSIG continues to
|
|
monitor the operation of the W3C Patent Policy and to issue new
|
|
<a href="../../2003/12/22-pp-faq.html">FAQ items</a> on a per need basis.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Upcoming Activity Highlights</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p class="firstelement">The PSIG has just finished the discussion about the
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/cla/">W3C Community
|
|
Contributor License Agreement (CLA)</a>. Currently, the discussion focuses
|
|
around what the next steps could be. This includes the evaluation and reform
|
|
of the Patent Policy and the versioning-question that is still not entirely
|
|
solved. </p>
