Revising the OASIS IPR Policy A Status
Update

OASIS Board IPR Sub-Committee

• Karl Best, OASIS
• Ed Cobb, BEA (Chair)
• Eduardo Gutentag, Sun
• Frederick Hirsch, Nokia
• Jim Hughes, HP
• Chris Kurt, Microsoft
• Jeff Mischkinsky, Oracle
• Michael Weiner, IBM

32
Why a New IPR Policy

• IPR Policy is very complex and important
• Growing demand for Royalty-Free mode TCs
• Board has an unsatisfactory stopgap in place that
  is being used by several TCs
• Need for better clarity and definition of member
  obligations and rights
• Currently NO obligation to provide licenses to
  implementers of OASIS specifications by TC
  participants
• Even for RAND TCs

33
History/Status

• IPR SC has been meeting for almost 2 years, quite
  intensively for the last several months
• Now have a draft with a fairly short list of
  items that need to be resolved by the full Board
• Had one review pass by OASIS legal counsel
• Huge amount of progress has been made
• Not everything has been resolved yet
• Complex issues/trade-offs

34
Highlights of Proposed Changes (1)

• Views OASIS as a federation of TCs
• Supports goal of having OASIS specifications
  widely implemented
• Defines RAND and RF modes
• Defines licensing rules and obligations for TC
  members
• TC members have obligation to disclose and
  license Essential Claims

35
Highlights of Proposed Changes (2)

• Clarifies numerous ambiguities in the existing
  Policy
• Restructures IPR framework and Policy to be more
  similar to other organizations
• Revised Membership Agreement to bind members to
  OASIS Bylaws, IPR Policy, etc.
• Possible
• New Feedback Licenses for public comments
• New Development Licenses for in-progress TCs

36
Highlights of Proposed Changes (3)

• TC designated as RAND or RF when chartered
• TC members acquire licensing obligations based on
  the level of their involvement in the work of the
  TC
• Contribution obligation
• Participation obligation
• Only Obligated members have licensing obligations
• All TC members have disclosure obligations

37
Items for Board Discussion

• Definition of contributions
• Do verbal statements count?
• RF-Mode Details
• What other reasonable and non-discriminatory
  license terms are acceptable?
• Should there be an opt-down possibility?
• License obligations
• What about optional parts of specifications?
• At what point in the process do you become
  obligated?
• Transition details

38
Next Steps

• Board resolution of remaining policy issues
• Revised IPR Sub-Committee IPR Policy Draft
• OASIS Legal Review
• Board Endorses Draft for Member Review
• Member Review and Feedback for consideration
• Revised IPR Sub-Committee IPR Policy draft
• Final Board Approval of IPR Policy
• TC Process updated to reflect IPR Policy
• Rollout and start of transition process
