Re: [PP-DIALOG] Modifications to IEEE SA patent policy

Thank you Wang Xiaofeng.  Since you and others from Qualcomm seem to want to use this list and other IEEE Standards Association lists to share your views regarding the proposed clarifications to the IEEE Standards Association By-Laws, I hope you won’t mind if I also use the list to respond.  I am attaching letters and other communications in support of the proposed clarifications from the following companies and associations:

 

Aruba

Broadcom

CableLabs

Cisco Systems

Dell

Marvell

National Retail Federation

New Egg

Ruckus Wireless

Samsung

Verizon

Vizio

 

As you know, the proposed clarifications also enjoy the support of Apple, Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Microsoft, among others. 

 

Best regards,

 

Gil Ohana

Subject: [PP-DIALOG] Modifications to IEEE SA patent policy

 

Hi Dear Colleagues,

 

You may not be aware that the IEEE Standards Association has developed modifications to the patent policy portion of its bylaws. These changes are up for approval by the IEEE Board of Directors at their February meeting. If approved, these changes will significantly undermine the value of engineering inventions in IEEE standards. Please check out

http://www.advancingengineering.org

to learn more about these changes, how they were developed, and how you might express your concerns.
