Tandberg Telecom AS's Statement about IPR claimed in draft-ietf-mmusic-ice-06 From: Espen Christensen Dear Sir or Madame Please replace existing text of section VI. "Licensing Declaration" in all Tandberg Telecom AS's statements about IPR claimed in draft-ietf-mmusic-ice-06, that is ID 671, 672 and 673, with the following updated text: "The Patent Holder is prepared to grant, on the basis of reciprocity in accordance with the above IETF specification, a license to an unrestricted number of applicants. Such licenses shall be on a worldwide, non-discriminatory basis and on reasonable terms and conditions permitting licensee to make, use and sell implementations of the above IETF specification. Negotiations are left to the parties concerned, and are performed outside of the IETF. In addition the Patent Holder is prepared to grant a "free" license to any prospective licensee if such prospective licensee will commit to license its own essential patent(s) or essential patent claim(s) for implementation of any IETF specification." "The word "free", as used herein, does not mean that the Patent Holder is waiving all of its rights with respect to the essential patent. Rather, "free" refers to the issue of monetary compensation; i.e., that the Patent Holder will not seek any monetary compensation as part of the licensing agreement (whether such compensation is called a royalty, a one-time licensing fee, etc.). However,while the Patent Holder in this situation is committing to not charging any monetary amount, the Patent Holder is still entitled to require that the implementer of the IETF specification sign a license agreement that contains other reasonable terms and conditions such as those relating to governing law, field of use, reciprocity, warranties, etc." Please let us know when the update is made.
