[PP-DIALOG] Google’s Comments re IEEE FAQ Revisions
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to support the proposed new FAQ text, as reflected currently at https://app.box.com/s/rh0bbs3uia605v4hs078rchv453q49nw.
The proposed FAQ addressing injunctions correctly notes that the Patent Policy does not purport to create any new authorizations or permissions beyond those applicable under national/regional laws. While this should be clear from the Policy’s language itself, the new FAQ text is nevertheless helpful and important for avoiding any potential misunderstanding or misapplication. It should be adopted.
The proposed FAQ addressing updates to the Patent Policy also is helpful and should be adopted. While different IEEE participants may have different views on the best policy approaches, it is clear that IEEE’s clarifications and updates to its Patent Policy can occur for any number of reasons, and may not be indicative of any substantive change.
I thank PatCom for its work to bring additional clarity, and for the opportunity to submit these comments.
Best regards,
Ola Adekunle
