Patent Policy. The document for now is still up in the air with
regards to any patents it could contain.
Purpose: The publication of the First Public
Working Draft is a signal to the community to
begin reviewing the document. See section 4.1 of
the W3C Patent Policy [PUB33] for information
about the policy implications of the First Public
Working Draft.

4.1. Exclusion With Continued Participation
Specific Essential Claims may be excluded
from the W3C RF licensing requirements by a

indicates its refusal to license specific
claims no later than 150 days after the
publication of the first public Working Draft
[PROCESS, section 7.4.1] by specifically
disclosing Essential Claims that will not be
licensed on W3C RF terms. A participant who
excludes Essential Claims may continue to
participate in the Working Group.
