`
`
`
`Preamble
`
`Standards organizations and other related bodies have agreed to co-
`operate for the production of a complete set of globally applicable
`Technical Specifications for a 3rd Generation Mobile System based
`on the evolved GSM core networks and the radio access
`technologies supported by 3GPP partners (i.e., UTRA both FDD and
`TDD modes).
`
`The Project is entitled the “Third Generation Partnership Project”
`and may be known by the acronym “3GPP”.
`
`3GPP has been established for the preparation and maintenance of
`the above mentioned Technical Specifications, and is not a legal
`entity.

`
`
`
`Definition of the Third Generation Partnership Project
`
`3GPP will provide globally applicable Technical
`Specifications for a 3rd Generation Mobile System
`based on the evolved GSM core network, and the
`Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), to be
`transposed by relevant standardization bodies
`(Organizational Partners) into appropriate
`deliverables (e.g., standards).

`
`IPR2021-00908 Honeywell Exh. 1026 - Page 5 of 47
`(Honeywell International, Inc., et al. v. 3G Licensing S.A.)
`
`
`
`Scope and objectives (1)
`
`The Technical Specifications will be developed in view of global roaming
`and circulation of terminals.
`
`The 3rd Generation Mobile System and its capabilities will be developed
`in a phased approach. Initially, 3GPP will elaborate, approve and maintain
`the necessary set of Technical Specifications for the first phase of a 3rd
`Generation Mobile System including:
`
`• UTRAN (including UTRA; W-CDMA in Frequency Division
`Duplex (FDD) mode and TD-CDMA in Time Division Duplex
`(TDD) mode)
`
`• 3GPP Core Network (Third Generation networking capabilities
`evolved from GSM . These capabilities include mobility management
`and global roaming.)
`
`• Terminals for access to the above (including specifications for a UIM)
`
`• System and service aspects

`IPR2021-00908 Honeywell Exh. 1026 - Page 6 of 47
`(Honeywell International, Inc., et al. v. 3G Licensing S.A.)
`
`
`
`Scope and objectives (2)
`
`The set of global specifications for the first phase of the
`3GPP core network and the specifications for the GSM
`core network should be common to the largest extent
`possible and should not be needlessly different.
`
`The results of the 3GPP work will form the basis of
`member contributions to the ITU in accordance with
`existing procedures.
`
`3GPP will take account of emerging ITU recommendations
`on interworking between IMT-2000 family members.
`
`In the framework of agreed relationships, 3GPP will
`elaborate Technical Specifications that will form the basis
`of standards, or parts of standards, of the Organizational
`Partners.

`
`
`
`Organizational Partners (2)
`
`An Organizational Partner is:
`
`An open standards organization with a national,
`regional or other officially recognized status
`(in their country or region)
`
`that:
`
`• has the capability and authority to define, publish
`and set standards nationally or regionally and
`
`• has signed (or whose sponsor has signed) the
`Partnership Project Agreement
`
`Organizational Partners will meet as approriate and
`make decisions by consensus.

`
`
`
`Market Representation Partners (2)
`
`Standardization should meet market needs.
`
`In order to identify market requirements, the high competence of
`Market Representation Partners should be used.
`
`A Market Representation Partner is an organization invited to
`participate by the Organizational Partners to offer market advice to
`3GPP and to bring into 3GPP a consensus view of market
`requirements (e.g. services, features and functionality) falling within
`the 3GPP scope.
`
`A Market Representation Partner:
`
`• does not have the capability and authority to define, publish and
`set standards nationally or regionally
`
`• has signed (or whose sponsor has signed) the Partnership
`Project Agreement
`
`• has committed itself to the 3GPP scope

`
`
`Individual Members (2)
`
`Membership in an Organizational Partner is a pre-
`requisite for Individual Membership in 3GPP.
`
`Individual Membership is open to legal entities
`committed to support 3GPP and to:
`
`• contribute technically or otherwise to one or more of
`the Technical Specification Groups within the 3GPP
`scope
`
`• use the 3GPP results to the extent feasible

`Partner and eligible for participation in the technical work
`of that Partner, can become Individual Members of 3GPP.
`Individual members shall apply to their Organizational
`Partner to participate in 3GPP.
`
`Individual Members act in the 3GPP in their own right;
`they carry the full responsibility for their contributions.
`
`Individual Membership applicants residing in a country/area
`without an Organizational Partner can apply for
`membership in an Organizational Partner according to the
`rules of each Partner. (e.g. ETSI Associate Membership is
`available)

`
`
`
`Observership
`
`In order to ensure globally applicable Technical
`Specifications, the status of “Observer” may be granted
`by the Organizational Partners to an entity which has the
`qualifications to become a future Organizational Partner.
`The status of “Observer” includes obligations to:
`
`• identify as early as possible any regulatory requirements
`that may lead to options within Technical Specifications
`
`• make their IPR policy available for consideration
`
`• contribute to the common objective of the 3GPP and
`avoid duplication of work related to the 3GPP
`
`The participation rights of an Observer will be decided on
`a case by case basis.

`
`
`Resource requirements for establishing 3GPP
`
`ETSI will absorb the initial cost of establishing the
`3GPP, if required.
`
`Thereafter, the costs will be shared by the
`Organizational Partners. There will be no direct
`3GPP membership fee for Individual Members.
`
`Partners and Individual Members may provide
`support functions to the extent that they are able
`(eg hosting of meetings and provision of
`Secretariat support).
`
`The longer term financial requirements are for
`further study.

`
`Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Principles (1)
`
`The Individual Members of 3GPP are bound by the IPR
`Policies of their respective Organizational Partner.
`
`Individual Members are encouraged to declare at the
`earliest opportunity, any IPRs which they may have
`and believe to be essential, or potentially essential, to
`any work ongoing within 3GPP.
`
`After comparing their respective IPR policies, ARIB,
`ETSI, T1, TTA and TTC have agreed that their IPR
`policies share common principles are quite similar
`and have agreed on the following additional principles
`to maximize the success of 3GPP.

`
`
`
`Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Principles (2)
`
`(i) To encourage their respective members’ declaration of
`willingness to grant licences on fair, reasonable terms and
`conditions on a non-discriminatory basis, and consistent with
`the respective Organizational Partners’ IPR policies.
`
`(ii) To encourage their respective members who may have IPR
`which they believe to be essential, or potentially essential, and
`are unwilling to license such IPR, that early indication of such
`unwillingness be provided to their respective Organizational
`Partners.
`
`(iii) To understand that essential IPRs mean essential IPRs
`relative to any or all parts of the content of the 3GPP technical
`specifications.
`
`(iv) A mechanism for exchanging information associated with the
`patent statement among the Organizational Partners will be
`introduced so that such information may be used when
`adopting relevant standards in each Partner Organization.
