Proposed UOML TC IPR Policy

Dear all:

By this week, there is a proposed subject of UOM IPR Policy, while welcome all of you have the comments on it.

Proposed UOML TC IPR Policy

[Specification of the IPR Mode under which the TC will operate.]

RAND Mode:

1. Except where a Licensee has a separate, signed agreement under which the Essential Claims are licensed to such Licensee on more favorable terms and conditions than set forth in this section (in which case such separate signed agreement shall supersede this Limited Patent License), each Obligated Party in this TC hereby covenants that, it will grant to any complete conforms of calling UOML standard: a nonexclusive, worldwide, non-sublicensable, perpetual patent license (or an equivalent non-assertion covenant) under its Essential Claims covered by its Contribution Obligations or Participation Obligations without payment of royalties or fees, to make, have made, use, market, import, offer to sell, and sell, and to otherwise distribute Licensed Products directly or indirectly that implement such specification. Such license need not extend to features of a Licensed Product that are not required to comply with the Normative Portions of such specification. For the sake of clarity, the rights set forth above include the right to directly or indirectly authorize a third party to make unmodified copies of the Licensee's Licensed Products and to license (optionally under the third party's license) the Licensee's Licensed Products, within the scope of, and subject to the terms of, the Obligated Party's license.

2. Any Docbase providers, i.e. makers of software which implements UOML, shall be charged a fix percentage of the revenue generated by adopting UOML in total, as the authorized expenses for all correlation patents, regardless the mount of the patent involved.
