Dear All, we did an editorial update of our Patent Policy in August, incorporating correction of errata: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20170801/ This impacts the patent policy statements included in W3C technical reports. The new wording to include in the reports is as follows: [[ <p> This document was produced by a group operating under the <a href="https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/"><abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr> Patent Policy</a>. <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr> maintains a <a href="https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/40318/status" rel="disclosure">public list of any patent disclosures</a> made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains <a href="https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/#def-essential">Essential Claim(s)</a> must disclose the information in accordance with <a href="https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/#sec-Disclosure">section 6 of the <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr> Patent Policy</a>. </p> ]] https://github.com/w3c/specberus/issues/696 As usual, if you use respec or bikeshed, those tools should take care of the change for you. Until the end of November, our publication rules will accept the old and the new wording. We will make the new wording mandatory starting on December 1. Thank you, Philippe
