All,
I recently conducted a limited survey of
the IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) policies of the leading IT standards
activities (de jure, professional society, consortia, industry association SDO
and SSO).
Like many similar standards bodies
producing open standards, OASIS has a patent disclosure policy requiring
participants to disclose any intent to apply for software patents for
technologies under consideration in the standard. And like the other SDO such
as W3C, which requires participants to offer royalty-free licenses to anyone
using the resulting standard, OASIS offers a similar Royalty Free on Limited Terms
mode, along with a Royalty Free on RAND (reasonable and non-discriminatory) Terms
mode and a RAND mode for its committees.
Kindly see the attached regarding
OASIS IPR.
R,

In ISO any text is ISO copyright, and there is a requirement to identify any patents the standard depends on for implementation (the no surprises principle). It is very rare for any to be identified.
