  6. Participants have a duty to inform the IEEE • Participants shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed) of the identity of each holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents • Participants should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed) of the identity of any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is encouraged Nikola Serafimovski (pureLiFi)

  7. Ways to inform IEEE • Cause an LOA to be submitted to the IEEE-SA (patcom@ieee.org); or • Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible; or • Speak up now and respond to this Call for Potentially Essential Patents If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance, please respond at this time by providing relevant information to the WG Chair Nikola Serafimovski (pureLiFi)

  8. Patent-related information The patent policy and the procedures used to execute that policy are documented in the: • IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws(http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sect6-7.html#6) • IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual(http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/opman/sect6.html#6.3) Material about the patent policy is available at http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org Nikola Serafimovski (pureLiFi)

  9. Participation in IEEE 802 Meetings • All participation in IEEE 802 Working Group meetings is on an individual basis • •     Participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience.
