The Patent Disclosure and Licensing Declaration Template for Specific IPR Disclosures

This document is an IETF IPR Disclosure and Licensing Declaration Template and is submitted to inform the IETF of a) patent or patent application information regarding the IETF document or contribution listed in Section IV, 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. Please complete and submit a separate template for each IETF document or contribution to which the disclosed patent information relates.

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 or may be published as general disclosures.

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.

V. Disclosure of Patent Information i.e., patents or patent applications required to be disclosed by Section 5 of RFC8179

This IPR disclosure must either identify a specific patent or patents in sections V(A) and V(B) below, or be made as a blanket IPR disclosure.

In satisfaction of its disclosure obligations, Patent Holder commits to license all of IPR (as defined in RFC 8179) that would have required disclosure under RFC 8179 on a royalty-free (and otherwise reasonable and non-discriminatory) basis. Patent Holder confirms that all other terms and conditions are described in this IPR disclosure.

A. For granted patents or published pending patent applications, please provide the following information:

Enter one or more comma-separated patent publication or application numbers as two-letter country code and serial number, e.g.: US62/123456 or WO2017123456. Do not include thousands-separator commas in serial numbers. It is preferable to use individual disclosures for each patent, even if this field permits multiple patents to be listed, in order to get inventor, title, and date information below correct.
Inventor name
Title of invention
Date granted or applied for

B. Does your disclosure relate to an unpublished pending patent application?

VI. Licensing declaration
