Summary of 4 November 2002 Patent Policy Working Group Teleconference

Hello,

    Eighteen people attended the 4 November 2002 Patent Policy Working
    Group (PPWG) teleconference. The group talked about their
    presentation to the W3C Advisory Committee in Boston later this
    month. They discussed a discussion thread about patents among W3C
    Members. Most of the meeting was devoted to a PPWG participant's
    suggestion that invited experts from government and universities that
    may hold patents enlist in W3C Working Groups as outside
    consultants. The group discussed the one government with which some
    participants had experience, the United States, and the Bayh-Dole
    Act. Time ran out before the group could touch on their last agenda
    item, the future of the PPWG.

Best wishes,
