Visa Europe has raised some patent exclusions against the Web
Authentication spec, as shown on the WG status page.[0] Per the W3C
Patent Policy, our goal is to assure that Recommendations can be
implemented on a Royalty-Free (RF) basis.[1]

We ask that people not discuss patents or patent issues in the Working
Group. If necessary, we will launch a Patent Advisory Group (PAG).
Please contact me directly if you have any questions.
