Re: [PP-DIALOG] PatCom: Report Out from the 27 November 2018 Executive Session meeting

Dear David,

 

Thanks for sending this agenda and minutes of the June meeting. It does give me some questions to address on the reflector, so thank you for this opportunity.

 

 

  1. Regarding the item in the December meeting agenda 6.1:
    1. It may be valuable to know how the issues raised in 6.1 of the June meeting (reported as no action) taken in the are related to the agenda item 6.1 in the December PatCom meeting agenda.
    2. For example, were both initiatives intended to resolve a similar issue such as limiting the potential for negative LOAs? It seems to me more likely that approach of 6.1 in the agenda rather than the earlier offer to declare under the old policy approach broached in the June meeting is actually likely to generate more negative LOAs. If that’s not the reason for the suggestion, would like to understand what it is, in order to make more useful commentary if possible. Perhaps this can be addressed by PatCom at the meeting.

 

  1. With respect to the specifics of the proposal D.1 on the December PatCom meeting agenda, the form language recommended for D.1.d might be beneficially modified as below, in order to maintain the avoidance of an obligation to do a patent search, recognized in the policy:

 

D.1.d: The Submitter is unwilling or unable to grant licenses according to the provisions of either

a or b above or to agree that it will not enforce its Essential Patent Claims as described in c

above. This statement applies only to the Patent Claims of which the Submitter is aware, identified in E.1 below.

 

 

  1. Regarding the meeting minutes from June: Why in the meeting minutes are the speeches by Delrahim are not reported as US Government or at least DoJ positions? There was discussion at the meeting on this very question. Those speeches were not personal opinions, and I thought that was understood by the members of PatCom, and yet the record reflects the potential misimpression.

 

Thank you for your attention.

 

Best regards,

 

Michael.

PatCom further discussed the proposal from agenda item 6.1 of the June PatCom meeting and took no action on the proposal.
