  4. Posted PatCom Guidance • What is an essential patent? • Essential patents are those patents whose infringement is, or in the case of patent applications, potential future infringement the applicant asserts will be, unavoidable in a compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions of a standard. The oversight of the IEEE process is only concerned with essential patents. • Call for essential patents by the Working Group Chair • What exactly is a call for essential patents? • It's a reminder, made by the chair of an IEEE standards-developing working group or the chair of an IEEE Standards Sponsor. The chair informs the members of the working group that if any individual believes that a patent or patent application might be essential to the implementation of the standard, that fact should be made known to the entire working group. • This request shall be made at every standards-development meeting, usually as part of the chair's introductory remarks. Anyone can respond to this call, be they observers or members of the group. There is no obligation to search patent portfolios and no patent numbers are required to be identified as part of the call for patents--just information that something may be of issue. Once the chair is made aware of this, he or she can send out a patent letter of assurance request to the potential patent holder for official confirmation of information. • So what can you discuss about patents at a standards-development meeting? • You can cover the content of the patent letter of assurance form, you can discuss the technical merits of using the technology under patent, and you can discuss the way patent information is made available from the IEEE. • You must not discuss subjects like the pricing for use of a patent, how a patent should be licensed, validity or interpretation of a patent claim, or any terms or conditions of use. These are not appropriate topics for discussion in a standards developing committee. Further information can be found in "What You Need to Know About IEEE Standards and the Law." • Questions from industry or from individuals can be directed to the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee for further consideration.
