Hello,

Here are the ip materials I mentioned on the call just now.

Overview and Summary of W3C Patent Policy
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/05-patentsummary.html

Royalty Free licensing requirements
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Requirements

Disclosing a patent for this working group
https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/44556/ndisclose
Note that the patent number and the jurisdiction are required items.

Providing additional license information (after disclosing)
https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/44556/nlicense

Disclosure exemption (you can disclose, and then waive the right to
exclude. This increases confidence about the disclosure because it
makes it clear that disclosure is not a prelude to exclusion i.e.
stops people worrying)
