IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on
Patents in Standards
6. Patents
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 and prior to
approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent or patent application
becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a
letter that is in the form of 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 shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to
the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.
Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – March 2003 (Revised December 2004)
