Since Ron appears to be raising factual issues regarding the IEEE patent policy, I am attaching two empirical studies for further information. (I am not pasting the full text
of the documents as they are quite lengthy.) The first study, from 2017, concludes: “[T]here are many ways to assess the health and significance of a given SSO. Based on our review of the available facts, and by many
measures, IEEE remains as strong, or stronger, than it has ever been.” The second study, from 2018, concludes: “The updated data through the end of 2017 verifies our prior conclusions that contributions to IEEE standards and technical work within
IEEE working groups have only increased since the updated patent policy was approved”; that “as a matter of plain fact, an increase or decrease of patents essential to IEEE standards cannot be assessed by counting LOAs. Claims to the contrary are erroneous.”;
and that “suggestions that work at IEEE has been negatively affected because a few companies – none of which have been particularly active technical contributors – have chosen not to support the updated IEEE Patent Policy in a single Working Group (802.11)
are demonstrably incorrect.” Here are links to the publicly-available studies:
