4 TC FORMATION

At the time a TC is chartered, the proposal to form the TC must specify the IPR Mode under which the Technical Committee will operate. This Policy describes three (3) IPR Modes.

1. RAND - requires all Obligated Parties to license their Essential Claims using the RAND licensing elements described in Section 10.1.

2. RF on RAND Terms - requires all Obligated Parties to license their Essential Claims using the RF licensing elements described in Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.2.

3. RF on Limited Terms - requires all Obligated Parties to license their Essential Claims using the RF licensing elements described in Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.3.

A TC may not change its IPR Mode without closing and submitting a new charter.
