Dear Advisory Committee representative, This is a W3C Patent Policy Call for Exclusions for the following Recommendation Track documents: - ODRL Information Model (http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-odrl-model-20160721/), exclusion opportunity ending on 18 December 2016 23:59 UTC - ODRL Vocabulary & Expression (http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-vocab-odrl-20160721/), exclusion opportunity ending on 18 December 2016 23:59 UTC These specifications were produced by the Permissions and Obligations Expression 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 18 December 2016 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 the following form: https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/87755/exclude The Patent Policy anticipates that the documents will evolve during the 90 days following the first publication. Per section 4.1 of the Patent Policy [1], whatever draft is available on 19 October 2016 establishes the reference material [3] for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity. Just after 19 October 2016, we will send a reminder and identify the reference draft. Due to the anticipated instability of the documents prior to 19 October 2016, 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 19 October 2016 and be excused from all licensing commitments arising out of Working Group participation. To resign from the Working Group before 19 October 2016, please use the following form: https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/87755/leave Summary information for this group related to the W3C Patent Policy is available at: http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/87755/status If you have any questions or need further information, please contact, for the Permissions and Obligations Expression Working Group: * Phil Archer at phila@w3.org For more information on the W3C Patent Policy and patent claim exclusions, see: http://www.w3.org/2003/12/22-pp-faq Thank you, For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director; Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications [1] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-exclusion-with [2] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-exclusion-resign [3] http://www.w3.org/2003/12/22-pp-faq#exclusion-date
