Dear Advisory Committee representative, This is a W3C Patent Policy Call for Exclusions for the following Recommendation Track document: - HTML Accessibility API Mappings 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html-aam-1.0-20150407/), exclusion opportunity ending on 4 September 2015 23:59 UTC This specification was produced by the following groups: - Protocols and Formats Working Group - HTML Working Group If you do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion opportunity, no further action is required. Member participants who think their organization may have patent claims to exclude should contact their Advisory Committee Representative. Participants made a Royalty-Free licensing commitment upon joining this Working Group. With the publication of this document, per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1] Participants have an opportunity until 4 September 2015 23:59 UTC to exclude patent claims reading on this Recommendation track document. Excluded claims are not subject to the licensing requirements of the W3C Patent Policy for this document. For more information about exclusions, please see http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Exclusion To make exclusions, please use one of the following forms: Protocols and Formats Working Group: https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/32212/exclude HTML Working Group: https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/40318/exclude The Patent Policy anticipates that the document will evolve during the 90 days following the first publication. Per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1], whatever draft is available on 6 July 2015 establishes the reference material [3] for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity. Just after 6 July 2015, we will send a reminder and identify the reference draft. Due to the anticipated instability of the document prior to 6 July 2015, Participants may wish to exclude any claims only after publication of the reference draft (and no later than the end of the exclusion opportunity). Per section 4.2 of the Patent Policy [2], a Participant may resign from the Working Group before 6 July 2015 and be excused from all licensing commitments arising out of Working Group participation.
