Ballot 77 – Emergency Extension of IPR Requirements
June 7, 2012 by Ben WilsonBallot 77 – Emergency Extension of IPR Requirements (Passed) Motion Jeremy Rowley made the following motion, and Kirk Hall and Robin Alden endorsed it: The Forum’s IPR Policy requires each member to sign the IPR agreement and disclose all IP assets containing an Essential Claim (as defined in the IPR) on or before June 7, 2012. A failure to comply results in the loss of forum membership. The fact that many key members have not had sufficient time to review and sign the IPR agreement will likely result in a low participation during the face-to-face in Norway and a significant delay in the discussion and adoption of on-going Forum work product.
