Early Patent Disclosure Notice: In connection with the development of an American National Standard, or other deliverable that requires use of patented inventions, the use of patented inventions shall be governed by the ANSI Patent Policy as adopted by ATIS and as set forth in the "Operating Procedures for ATIS Forums and Committees". For a full copy of the policy, please see Section 10, "Intellectual Property Rights Policy ".

Disclosure of relevant patented inventions at the earliest possible time in the development process is encouraged.

An opportunity will be provided for the members to identify or disclose patents that any member believes may be essential for the use of a standard under development. The response will be noted.

Neither the Committee, nor its Chair or Vice Chair, ensures the accuracy or completeness of any disclosure or whether any disclosure is of a patent that in fact may be essential for the use of standards under development.

The Chair further reminds attendees that participation in industry fora involves the potential for antitrust concerns or risks. To avoid such concerns and risks, participants should carefully observe the "Operating Procedures for ATIS Forums and Committees". In addition, sensitive discussion topics such as price, territories, specific contractual terms, etc., should be avoided. Any participant having concerns or questions regarding sensitive discussion topics should consult with their company's legal counsel, the Committee leadership, or ATIS legal counsel.
