UPnP Forum
UPnP™ Forum Goals

In an open environment, develop or
profile standards for device schemas
and protocols based on TCP/IP and XML

Balance protection of member
investment in technology with
confidence in ability to implement under
royalty-free terms

Encourage rapid and broad industry
deployment of compliant devices

Technical work complete - Adoption pending
resolution of IPR Policy issue
IPR Policy Issue

Original Member Agreement didn’t address
architectural evolution

2002 Member Agreement Amendment


Created Architecture Committee
Requires royalty-free licensing of all necessary IP
by all AC members regardless of contributor

Concerns regarding control of patent portfolios

Steering Committee and Legal Committee
actively negotiating resolution


Potential additional member agreement amendment
Not blocking work on DCPs
Future Architecture Evolution

Architecture was founded on basic Web
services technology – HTTP, XML, SOAP

Forum continues to track progress of
relevant Web services specifications for
possible consideration in the future

No architecture work in progress within
the Forum beyond v1.1
Looking Ahead

Enhanced architecture

More DCPs

Development platforms

Many more products in 2004-2005


Exciting opportunities with Remote I/O and
DLNA
Don’t wait – deploy v1 products now!

Long term industry commitment to v1
support
It is through your
contributions that UPnP™
technology will deliver on
its promises and potential.
