Tandberg Telecom AS's Statement about IPR claimed in draft-ietf-mmusic-ice-06
From: Espen Christensen

Dear Sir or Madame

Please replace existing text of section VI. "Licensing Declaration" in
all Tandberg Telecom AS's statements about IPR claimed in
draft-ietf-mmusic-ice-06, that is ID 671, 672 and 673, with the
following updated text:

"The Patent Holder is prepared to grant, on the basis of reciprocity in
accordance with the above IETF specification, a license to an
unrestricted number of applicants. Such licenses shall be on a
worldwide, non-discriminatory basis and on reasonable terms and
conditions permitting licensee to make, use and sell implementations of
the above IETF specification. Negotiations are left to the parties
concerned, and are performed outside of the IETF.

In addition the Patent Holder is prepared to grant a "free" license to
any prospective licensee if such prospective licensee will commit to
license its own essential patent(s) or essential patent claim(s) for
implementation of any IETF specification."

"The word "free", as used herein, does not mean that the Patent Holder
is waiving all of its rights with respect to the essential patent.
Rather, "free" refers to the issue of monetary compensation; i.e., that
the Patent Holder will not seek any monetary compensation as part of the
licensing agreement (whether such compensation is called a royalty, a
one-time licensing fee, etc.). However,while the Patent Holder in this
situation is committing to not charging any monetary amount, the Patent
Holder is still entitled to require that the implementer of the IETF
specification sign a license agreement that contains other reasonable
terms and conditions such as those relating to governing law, field of
use, reciprocity, warranties, etc."

Please let us know when the update is made.

Best regards,

Espen Christensen
