[PP-DIALOG] Juniper's Comments re IEEE FAQ Text

[Dave Djavaherian <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

 

I support that the two new proposed FAQs should be adopted by PatCom.

 

As has been expressed by some of the other commenters so far, both proposed FAQs accurately address how the Patent Policy functions, and provide important clarity to avoid potential misapplication of the Patent Policy in the future.  The draft text correctly makes clear that nothing in the Patent Policy would (or could) purport to authorize injunctive relief.  Rather, the Patent Policy functions to contractually restrict the use of injunctions despite that such relief might otherwise be available under national/regional law.  The draft text also correctly explains that updates to the Patent Policy can occur for many reasons, such that changes to the policy text may not imply any change to its substantive application.

 

I appreciate the opportunity to submit these comments.

 

Sincerely,
