All
participants at the Transformer Committee meeting have certain obligations
under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy.
Participants shall inform the IEEE of the identity of each “holder of any
potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the
claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the
participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents.
“Personal
awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder
may have a potential Essential Patent Claim” even if the participant is not
personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims.
Anyone
registering for these meetings that is personally aware of the holder of any
patent claims that are potentially essential to the implementation of any of
the proposed standard(s) under consideration by any task Force, Working Group
or Subcommittee that they will be participating in, that are not already the
subject of an “Accepted Letter of Assurance”, are encouraged to disclose
this information.
