Standards Project IP Rules

All contributions are subject to the Community Specification License. This includes the following:

• By contributing to a draft specification, participants agrees to license any patent claims that apply to that draft specification.
• When the project issues an approved specification, all contributors agree to license any claims that apply to that approved specification.
• These licenses extend to any claims applicable to the specification as a whole, not merely to the individual participant's contributions.
• Participants may decline to license specified claims by issuing an exclusion notice (under Section 3 of the CSL) within 45 days of (1) their contribution to a draft specification, or (2) the approval of a specification by the project, as applicable.
