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).
