If PatCom or the SASB becomes aware of an asserted potential essential patent claim for which an Accepted LoA (on the IEEE SA Standards Board approved patent letter of assurance form) is not on file, the information will be shared with the relevant Sponsor(s) and Working Group.
The participants in the development of the standards project at issue should be cognizant of the fact that there is not such an Accepted LoA on file, and that the SASB will take that fact into account when determining whether or not to approve a standard. Accordingly, such participants may wish to consider alternative technologies.
In addition, the SASB reserves the right to withdraw an approved standard should it be determined that market implementation is being hindered by the assertion of essential patent claims in the absence of an Accepted LoA.
The IEEE SA Standards Board directs PatCom to create an FAQ addressing the above resolution, which will include the foregoing three paragraphs of text without modification in the answer to the FAQ.
Any requests to PatCom for consideration of whether the IEEE SA Standards Board should approve P802.11ah notwithstanding the fact that there is an asserted potential essential patent claim for which an Accepted LoA (on the IEEE SA Standards Board approved patent letter of assurance form) is not on file shall be referred to the IEEE SA Standards Board without discussion at PatCom.
