-----------
COVER PAGES
-----------

Robin Cover, Managing Editor of the XML Cover Pages, has
prepared a new reference document on "Patents and Open Standards."
The document supplies literature citations relevant to software
patents and business methods patents in the context of widespread public
desire to protect a "tax-free Internet." Topics include the recent
US FTC/DOJ Joint Hearings on IP licensing terms and the ongoing work of
the W3C Patent Policy Working Group in its effort to establish a W3C
Royalty-Free Patent Policy.  The document addresses a growing
concern faced within government bodies and standard organizations
regarding patents and IP licensing terms which legally encumber open
standards designed for the Internet.  See:
http://xml.coverpages.org/patents.html
