[CMC] Patent Policy for next CMC poll

[Kearney, Mike W. (MSFC-EO01)]

Certainly, Juan.

Since Juan has requested more time to review, we will not set up the poll until late Monday, or later if someone else requests additional time.

Of course, delegates can submit comments during the poll as provisions, but it is better to handle extensive comments in advance, so we will allow all the time the CMC members need for advance review.

  Subject: [CMC] Patent Policy for next CMC poll

CMC Colleagues:  When we finished the special telecon on Patent Policy last Monday, I anticipated getting the revised policy text to you that afternoon and having a poll starting Wednesday or Thursday.  Unfortunately, I could not complete the text until today (Wednesday).  It is attached, with “changes tracked” compared to the last version that I sent you.

As discussed in the telecon, I have made the following changes:

1.       Include the ISO policy as an Annex, rather than as a web link

2.       Add caveat that in some cases, the needs of the CCSDS member agencies should not be blocked by RAND issues with very small segments of the user base.

3.       The WGs are not required to research patent law

4.       Exactly who the COI notification request applies to

5.       At some point in the future, we may have a waiver process

Keeping in mind the request from telecon attendees to complete this as soon as possible, while still fresh in memory, I propose that you look at this text Thursday and Friday and send me any comments that you have.  We will incorporate those comments and issue a CMC poll to approve the policy text this weekend (after close-of-business Friday in the USA).

Thanks very much for your support as we wrap up the first phase of resolving this complex question.  The second phase occurs when the documents come forward with patented technologies (DVB-S, LDPC, SCCC) for approval.

Best regards,

   -=- Mike
