These Patent Slides for Standards Development meetings have been posted and are available at: http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt (PPT version) http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.pdf (PDF version) Many of the changes made were based upon feedback from users (Sponsors, Working Groups, and others). This new slide set focuses on the duties of participants in Standards Development meetings rather than simply presenting the patent policy in its entirety. These slides provide a pointer to the policy and participants are encouraged to read and understand it. The slide set also contains the preferred text for use in a Call for Patents as required by the Patent Policy, as well as reminders concerning antitrust (or competition) laws. Between now and 1 June 2008, you are encouraged to use this replacement slide set. However, if you have already distributed meeting materials that refer to the previous version of the slide set, you may use that version until then. If you have any questions, please contact me. [Please do NOT reply to all unless you want all to read your comments. Thank you.] Regards, **************************************************************** David L.
