IEEE SA Patent Policy

• 6. Patents
• 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.
  This assurance shall be provided without coercion
  and prior to approval of the standard (or
  reaffirmation when a patent 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 the proposed IEEE standard against any
  person or entity using the patent(s) to comply
  with the standard or
• b)
• A statement that a license 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.
