OASIS Introduces Non-Assertion Mode to IPR Policy

TCs that form after 4 August 2009 will have the option to work under a new Non-Assertion Covenant mode of the OASIS Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy. Non-assertion covenants ensure that organizations or individuals who participate in writing a standard cannot demand royalty or exercise license rights against users or implementers of such approved standards. The new mode comes in response to member feedback and is in keeping with the global user community's increasing demand for more freely available and open solutions.

Liscia blogs on SmartGrid and patents

Laurent Liscia, OASIS executive director, blogs this week about his experiences at ConnectivityWeek and the related OASIS BlueConnect conference. Laurent offers unique observations on how the utility, controls, and software worlds are coming together to lay the groundwork for the Smart Grid. He explores how our new Energy Interoperation TC and Emergency work fit into this space.
