  12. Instructions for the WG Chair The IEEE-SA strongly recommends that at each WG meeting the chair or a designee: • Show slides #1 through #4 of this presentation • Advise the WG attendees that: • The IEEE’s patent policy is consistent with the ANSI patent policy and is described in Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws; • Early identification of patent claims which may be essential for the use of standards under development is strongly encouraged; • There may be Essential Patent Claims of which the IEEE is not aware. Additionally, neither the IEEE, the WG, nor the WG chair can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any assurance or whether any such assurance is, in fact, of a Patent Claim that is essential for the use of the standard under development. • Instruct the WG Secretary to record in the minutes of the relevant WG meeting: • That the foregoing information was provided and that slides 1 through 4 (and this slide 0, if applicable) were shown; • That the chair or designee provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may be essential for the use of that standard • Any responses that were given, specifically the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) that were identified (if any) and by whom. • The WG Chair shall ensure that a request is made to any identified holders of potential essential patent claim(s) to complete and submit a Letter of Assurance. • It is recommended that the WG chair review the guidance in IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual 6.3.5 and in FAQs 12 and 12a on inclusion of potential Essential Patent Claims by incorporation or by reference. Note: WG includes Working Groups, Task Groups, and other standards-developing committees with a PAR approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board. Yongho Seok (NEWRACOM) (Optional to be shown)

  13. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. 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 • “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents orpatent claims • “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) • The above does not apply if the patentclaim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2 • Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged • No duty to perform a patent search Slide #1 Yongho Seok (NEWRACOM)

  16. Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings • All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. • Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. • Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. • Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. • Technical considerations remain primary focus • Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. • Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. • Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

  18. Move to forward comment CID 8286 received from TGah initial sponsor ballot to IEEE-SA PatCom for consideration at December 2015 meeting and ask for feedback for resolving that CID? • CID 8286: Despite the existence of at least one document asserting otherwise, it is not clear whether an acceptable LoA has been submitted by Qualcomm in relation to a long list of standards essential patents previously indicated by Qualcomm with reference to the TGah draft standard. In particular, the letter delivered from Qualcomm counsel to the IEEE 802.11 WG which supposedly provided assurance that an LOA exists to cover the IP in question, does not in fact provide any direct evidence or clear connection between the current and future Qualcomm IP related to the TGah draft and any LOA on file with 802.11. While the letter seems to state that such a connection exists, no evidence of that connection is therein provided, other than a vague statement suggesting that the readers of said letter should simply "trust us". Additionally, the LOA of reference is a blanket LOA and the wording of a blanket LOA appears to apply to all future IP relating to the standard in addition to existing IP. Again, the letter delivered from Qualcomm provides no direct assurance that this aspect of the LOA is or will be satisfied nor is there any way to independtly confirm any of the Qualcomm assertions without visibility to the exact terms of the vaguely referenced but unobservable agreement between Qualcomm and the formerly independent entity CSR. Again, the current state of affairs is one in which effectively, without direct evidence, a representative from Qualcomm has said "trust us".The SASB will take the lack of a clear LOA for the Qualcomm IP into account when determining whether or not to approve a standard. Accordingly, TGah participants should consider alternative technologies to replace the material covered by the Qualcomm patents. • Move: Matthew Fisher Second: Sean Coffey • Yes: 5 No: 3 Abstain: 3 • Motion Passed Motion 2 Yongho Seok (NEWRACOM)
