Fwd: Call for participation: Decentralized Identifier Working Group switching to Patent Policy 2020

Hi all,

although there is a 45 days' grace period, I would urge all member institutions and invited experts who are active in the WG to make that transition asap. Indeed, one of the side effect of the PP change is that all PR-s coming from an institution (or an IE) that have not made the change yet will be flagged as non-acceptable for the IPR checker. I must admit I did not realize that myself (I would have warned you earlier) but Orie's latest PR had been flagged as such before Transmute re-joined the group.

Thanks

Ivan
