The Patent Disclosure and Licensing Declaration Template for General IPR Disclosures

This document is an IETF IPR Patent Disclosure and Licensing Declaration Template and is submitted to inform the IETF of a) patent or patent application information that is not related to a specific IETF document or contribution, and b) an IPR Holder's intention with respect to the licensing of its necessary patent claims. No actual license is implied by submission of this template.

Note: According to Section 5.4.3 of RFC 8179, "Intellectual Property Rights in IETF Technology," you are still required to file specific disclosures on IPR unless your general disclosure satisfies certain conditions. Please see the RFC for details.

Submissions that do not comply with the formal requirements of Section 5, "IPR Disclosures," of RFC 8179, "Intellectual Property Rights in IETF Technology", may be rejected.

If you have any questions or problems with form then please contact ietf-ipr@ietf.org. We do not accept IPR disclosures by email.

Fields marked with are required.
