`
`Annex 6:
`
`ETSI Intellectual Property Rights Policy
`
`1
`
`Introduction
`
`The General Assembly of ETSI has established the following Intellectual Property Rights POLICY.
`
`
`
`Definitions
`
` 2
`
`Terms in the POLICY which are written in capital letters shall have the meaning set forth in Clause 15
`entitled DEFINITIONS.
`
` 3
`
`
`
`3.1
`
`
`3.2
`
`Policy Objectives
`
`It is ETSI's objective to create STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS that are
`based on solutions which best meet
`the
`technical objectives of
`the European
`telecommunications sector, as defined by the General Assembly. In order to further this
`objective the ETSI IPR POLICY seeks to reduce the risk to ETSI, MEMBERS, and others
`applying ETSI STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, that investment in the
`preparation, adoption and application of STANDARDS could be wasted as a result of an
`ESSENTIAL IPR for a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION being unavailable. In
`achieving this objective, the ETSI IPR POLICY seeks a balance between the needs of
`standardization for public use in the field of telecommunications and the rights of the owners of
`IPRs.
`
`IPR holders whether members of ETSI and their AFFILIATES or third parties, should be
`adequately and fairly rewarded for the use of their IPRs in the implementation of STANDARDS
`and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
`
`
`3.3 ETSI shall take reasonable measures to ensure, as far as possible, that its activities which
`relate to the preparation, adoption and application of STANDARDS and TECHNICAL
`SPECIFICATIONS, enable STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS to be available
`to potential users in accordance with the general principles of standardization.
`
`Disclosure of IPRs
`
` 4
`
`
`
`4.1 Subject to Clause 4.2 below, each MEMBER shall use its reasonable endeavours, in particular
`during the development of a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION where it
`participates, to inform ETSI of ESSENTIAL IPRs in a timely fashion. In particular, a MEMBER
`submitting a technical proposal for a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall, on a
`bona fide basis, draw the attention of ETSI to any of that MEMBER's IPR which might be
`ESSENTIAL if that proposal is adopted.
`
`
`4.2 The obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1 above do however not imply any obligation on
`MEMBERS to conduct IPR searches.
`
`
`4.3 The obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1 above are deemed to be fulfilled in respect of all existing
`and future members of a PATENT FAMILY if ETSI has been informed of a member of this
`PATENT FAMILY in a timely fashion. Information on other members of this PATENT FAMILY, if
`any, may be voluntarily provided.
`
`Procedures for Committees
`
` 5
`
`
`
`ETSI shall establish guidelines for the chairmen of COMMITTEES with respect to ESSENTIAL IPRs.
`
` 6
`
`
`
`Availability of Licences
`
`6.1 When an ESSENTIAL IPR relating to a particular STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
`is brought to the attention of ETSI, the Director-General of ETSI shall immediately request the
`
`
`
`Case 6:14-cv-00982-KNM Document 181-1 Filed 01/04/16 Page 3 of 12 PageID #: 2284

`
`owner to give within three months an irrevocable undertaking in writing that it is prepared to
`grant irrevocable licences on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions
`under such IPR to at least the following extent:
`
`MANUFACTURE, including the right to make or have made customized components and
`sub-systems to the licensee's own design for use in MANUFACTURE;
`
`sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of EQUIPMENT so MANUFACTURED;
`
`repair, use, or operate EQUIPMENT; and
`
`use METHODS.
`
`●
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` ●
`
` ●
`
` ●
`
`The above undertaking may be made subject to the condition that those who seek licences
`agree to reciprocate.
`
`In the event a MEMBER assigns or transfers ownership of an ESSENTIAL IPR that it disclosed
`to ETSI, the MEMBER shall exercise reasonable efforts to notify the assignee or transferee of
`any undertaking it has made to ETSI pursuant to Clause 6 with regard to that ESSENTIAL IPR.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`6.2 An undertaking pursuant to Clause 6.1 with regard to a specified member of a PATENT
`FAMILY shall apply to all existing and future ESSENTIAL IPRs of that PATENT FAMILY unless
`there is an explicit written exclusion of specified IPRs at the time the undertaking is made. The
`extent of any such exclusion shall be limited to those explicitly specified IPRs.
`
`
`6.3 As long as the requested undertaking of the IPR owner is not granted, the COMMITTEE
`Chairmen should, if appropriate, in consultation with the ETSI Secretariat use their judgment as
`to whether or not the COMMITTEE should suspend work on the relevant parts of the
`STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION until the matter has been resolved and/or submit
`for approval any relevant STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION.
`
`
`6.4 At the request of the European Commission and/or EFTA, initially for a specific STANDARD or
`TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION or a class of STANDARDS/TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS,
`ETSI shall arrange to have carried out in a competent and timely manner an investigation
`including an IPR search, with the objective of ascertaining whether IPRs exist or are likely to
`exist which may be or may become ESSENTIAL to a proposed STANDARD or TECHNICAL
`SPECIFICATIONS and the possible terms and conditions of licences for such IPRs. This shall
`be subject to the European Commission and/or EFTA meeting all reasonable expenses of such
`an investigation, in accordance with detailed arrangements to be worked out with the European
`Commission and/or EFTA prior to the investigation being undertaken.
`
`
`6bis Use of the IPR Licensing Declaration Forms
`
`MEMBERS shall use one of the ETSI IPR Licensing Declaration forms at the Appendix to this ETSI
`IPR Policy to make their IPR licensing declarations.
`
`Information on IPR by ETSI
`
` 7
`
`
`
`7.1 Any published STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall include information
`pertaining to ESSENTIAL IPRs which are brought to the attention of ETSI prior to such
`publication.
`
`
`7.2 ETSI shall establish appropriate procedures to allow access to information at any time with
`respect to ESSENTIAL IPRs which have been brought to the attention of ETSI.
`
` 8
`
`
`
`Non-availability of Licences
`
`8.1 Non-availability of licences prior to the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL
`SPECIFICATION

`ETSI Rules of Procedure, 26 November 2008
`
`Existence of a viable alternative technology
`
`Where prior to the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION an IPR
`owner informs ETSI that it is not prepared to license an IPR in respect of a STANDARD or
`TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, the General Assembly
`shall review the requirement for that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION and
`satisfy itself that a viable alternative technology is available for the STANDARD or
`TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION which:
`
`●
`
`is not blocked by that IPR; and
`
` ●
`
`
`
`satisfies ETSI's requirements.
`
`
`Non-existence of a viable alternative technology
`
`Where, in the opinion of the General Assembly, no such viable alternative technology exists,
`work on
`the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall cease, and
`the
`Director-General of ETSI shall observe the following procedure:
`
`
`8.1.1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`8.1.2
`
`
`
`
`
`8.1.3
`
`
`
`If the IPR owner is a MEMBER,
`
`i)
`
`the Director-General of ETSI shall request that MEMBER to reconsider its
`position.
`
`
`ii)
`
`
`iii)
`
`If that MEMBER however decides not to withdraw its refusal to license the
`IPR, it shall then inform the Director-General of ETSI of its decision and
`provide a written explanation of its reasons for refusing to license that IPR,
`within three months of its receipt of the Director-General's request.
`
`The Director-General of ETSI shall then send the MEMBER's explanation
`together with relevant extracts from the minutes of the General Assembly to
`the ETSI Counsellors for their consideration.
`
`a)
`
`b)
`
`
`If the IPR owner is a third party,
`
`i)
`
`the Director-General of ETSI shall, wherever appropriate, request full
`supporting details from any MEMBER who has complained that licences are
`not available in accordance with Clause 6.1 above and/or request
`appropriate MEMBERS to use their good offices to find a solution to the
`problem.
`
`
`ii) Where this does not lead to a solution the Director-General of ETSI shall
`write to the IPR owner concerned for an explanation and request ultimately
`that licences be granted according to Clause 6.1 above.
`
`
`iii) Where the IPR owner refuses the Director-General's request and decides
`not to withdraw its refusal to license the IPR or does not answer the letter
`within three months after the receipt of the Director-General's request, the
`Director-General shall then send the IPR owner's explanation, if any,
`together with relevant extracts from the minutes of the General Assembly to
`the ETSI Counsellors for their consideration.
`
`
`Prior to any decision by the General Assembly, the COMMITTEE should in consultation with
`the ETSI Secretariat use their judgment as to whether or not the COMMITTEE should pursue
`development of the concerned parts of the STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
`based on the non-available technology and should look for alternative solutions.

`
`8.2 Non-availability of licences after the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL
`SPECIFICATION
`
`i)
`
`
`ii)
`
`Where, in respect of a published STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION, ETSI becomes
`aware that licences are not available from an IPR owner in accordance with Clause 6.1 above,
`that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall be referred to the Director-General of
`ETSI for further consideration in accordance with the following procedure:
`
`The Director-General shall request full supporting details from any MEMBER or third
`party who has complained that licences are not available in accordance with Clause 6.1
`above.
`
`The Director-General shall write to the IPR owner concerned for an explanation and
`request that licences be granted according to Clause 6.1 above. Where the concerned
`IPR owner is a MEMBER, it shall inform the Director-General of ETSI of its decision and
`provide a written explanation of its reasons in case of continuing refusal to license that
`IPR.
`
`
`iii) Where the IPR owner refuses the Director-General's request or does not answer the
`letter within three months, the Director-General shall inform the General Assembly and, if
`available, provide the General Assembly with the IPR owner's explanation for
`consideration. A vote shall be taken in the General Assembly on an individual weighted
`basis to immediately refer the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION to the
`relevant COMMITTEE to modify it so that the IPR is no longer ESSENTIAL.
`
`
`iv) Where the vote in the General Assembly does not succeed, then the General Assembly
`shall, where appropriate, consult the ETSI Counsellors with a view to finding a solution to
`the problem. In parallel, the General Assembly may request appropriate MEMBERS to
`use their good offices to find a solution to the problem.
`
`
`v) Where (iv) does not lead to a solution, then the General Assembly shall request the
`European Commission to see what further action may be appropriate, including non-
`recognition of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION in question.
`
`In carrying out the foregoing procedure due account shall be taken of the interest of the
`enterprises that have invested in the implementation of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL
`SPECIFICATION in question.
`
`ETSI ownership of IPRs
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` 9
`
`
`
`9.1 The ownership of the copyright in STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
`documentation and reports created by ETSI or any of its COMMITTEES shall vest in ETSI but
`due acknowledgement shall be given to copyrights owned by third parties that are identifiable in
`ETSI copyrighted works.
`
`
`9.2
`
`In respect of IPRs other than copyright in STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
`documentation and reports, ETSI shall only seek ownership of IPRs generated either by its
`employees or by secondees to ETSI from organizations who are not MEMBERS.
`
`
`9.3 ETSI shall, on request by a non-member, grant licences to that non-member on fair and
`reasonable terms and conditions in respect of any IPRs, other than those referred to in Clause
`9.1 above, owned by ETSI. MEMBERS shall be allowed to use IPRs owned by ETSI free of
`charge.
`
`
`10
`
`Confidentiality
`
`The proceedings of a COMMITTEE shall be regarded as non-confidential except as expressly
`provided below and all information submitted to a COMMITTEE shall be treated as if non-confidential
`and shall be available for public inspection unless:

`the information is in written or other tangible form; and
`
`the information is identified in writing, when submitted, as confidential; and
`
`●
`
`
`
`
`
` ●
`
` ●
`
`
`
`the information is first submitted to, and accepted by, the chairman of the COMMITTEE
`as confidential.
`

`CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION incorporated in a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
`shall be regarded as non-confidential by ETSI and its MEMBERS, from the date on which the
`STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION is published.

`
`MEMBERS may make copies of STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS documentation
`produced by ETSI for their own use free of charge but may not distribute such copies to others.
`
`12
`
`Law and Regulation
`
`The POLICY shall be governed by the laws of France. However, no MEMBER shall be obliged by the
`POLICY to commit a breach of the laws or regulations of its country or to act against supranational
`laws or regulations applicable to its country insofar as derogation by agreement between parties is not
`permitted by such laws.
`
`Any right granted to, and any obligation imposed on, a MEMBER which derives from French law and
`which are not already contained in the national or supranational law applicable to that MEMBER is to
`be understood as being of solely a contractual nature.
`
`13
`
`Policy Decisions
`
`Without prejudice to ETSI's Statutes and Rules of Procedure, no decisions shall be taken by ETSI in
`relation to implementation of the POLICY unless supported by a 71 % majority of the weighted
`individual votes cast by MEMBERS.
`
`14
`
`Violation of Policy
`
`Any violation of the POLICY by a MEMBER shall be deemed to be a breach, by that MEMBER, of its
`obligations to ETSI. The ETSI General Assembly shall have the authority to decide the action to be
`taken, if any, against the MEMBER in breach, in accordance with the ETSI Statutes.
