Resolution 19 - Patent Problems
JTC 1 reviewed document JTC 1 N 5927, Japanese proposal on patent problems
in standardization, and agree that the issues raised are real and of concern
to JTC 1. However, JTC 1 believes that patent issues are best addressed by
ISO and IEC. Therefore, JTC 1 forwards document N 5927 to the ITTF for
consideration by the appropriate bodies in ISO and IEC. The ITTF is
requested to report back to JTC 1 at the earliest possible date the ISO and
IEC deliberations on this issue.
In addition, JTC 1 instructs all members of JTC 1 (including National
Bodies, SCs, WGs and other organizations) to remind their constituencies of
the policy as well as the underlying premise of good faith of the Annex A
(Reference to patent rights) of ISO/IEC Directives Part 2 (Amendment 1
1995-05-31) thoroughly and to follow the process properly and without
disrupting the underlying premise.
