Summary of 11 February 2002 Patent Policy Working Group Teleconference

Hello,

Eleven people attended the 11 February 2002 Patent Policy Working
Group (PPWG) teleconference.

First the agenda, minutes and minutes summaries were approved.

Most of the remainder of the meeting covered the "Major Decisions
for RF Patent Policy" issues list and the second Royalty-Free (RF)
draft, both prepared by Daniel Weitzner, PPWG Chair. Ranging over
about ten topics, the group discussed defensive suspension, timing
of exclusion, universal reciprocity, and the scope of disclosure
obligations in the most detail.

Scott Peterson was chosen Chair of a new Terminology Task Force
that was formed at the 5-6 February face-to-face meeting. All task
forces were asked to report back to the group in about two weeks.

The group's next meeting is Tuesday, 19 February.

Best wishes,
--
