Note Well
This summary is only meant to point you in the right direction, and
doesn't have all the nuances. The IETF's IPR Policy is set forth in
IPR -> Intellectual Property Rights
BCP 79; please read it carefully.
The brief summary:
- By participating with the IETF, you agree to follow IETF processes.
{ BCP 79 does not describe IETF processes, so you need an additional
citation. /d }
- If you are aware that a contribution of yours (something you write,
say, or discuss in any IETF context) is covered by patents or patent
applications, you need to disclose that fact.
{ the directive here is remarkably soft. much too soft, IMO. a
sentence structure that's a bit too complicated. so...}
A contribution by you consists of anything you write, say or discuss in
any IETF context. If you are aware that any contribution you make is
covered by a patent or a patent application, you are REQUIRED to
disclose that fact IMMEDIATELY.
- You understand that meetings might be recorded, broadcast, and
publicly archived.
For further information: Talk to a chair, ask an Area Director, or
review BCP 9 (on the Internet Standards Process), BCP 25 (on the
Working Group processes), BCP 78 (on the IETF Trust), and BCP 79 (on
Intellectual Property Rights in the IETF).
