Dear Advisory Committee representative, This is a W3C Patent Policy Call for Exclusions for the following Recommendation Track document: - Semantic Sensor Network Ontology (http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-vocab-ssn-20160531/), exclusion opportunity ending on 28 October 2016 23:59 UTC This specification was produced by the Spatial Data on the Web 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 28 October 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/75471/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 29 August 2016 establishes the reference material [3] for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity. Just after 29 August 2016, we will send a reminder and identify the reference draft. Due to the anticipated instability of the document prior to 29 August 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 29 August 2016 and be excused from all licensing commitments arising out of Working Group participation. To resign from the Working Group before 29 August 2016, please use the following form: https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/75471/leave Summary information for this group related to the W3C Patent Policy is available at: http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/75471/status If you have any questions or need further information, please contact, for the Spatial Data on the Web 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
