Call for Exclusions: Web Notifications

Dear Advisory Committee representative,

This is a W3C Patent Policy Call for Exclusions for the following  
Recommendation Track document:

- Web Notifications
  (http://www.w3.org/TR/notifications/),
  exclusion opportunity ending on 29 July 2011 23:59 UTC

This specification was produced by the Web Notification Working Group.

If you do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion  
opportunity, no further action is required.

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 29  
July 2011 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:
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/45313/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 30 May 2011  
establishes the reference material [3] for the purposes of this  
exclusion opportunity. Just after 30 May 2011, we will send a reminder  
and identify the reference draft. Due to the anticipated instability  
of the document prior to 30 May 2011, 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 30 May 2011 and be excused from all  
licensing commitments arising out of Working Group participation.

To resign from the Working Group before 30 May 2011, please use the  
following form:
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/45313/join
