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.

  

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

  

  
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.

  

  
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.
