Patrick – At our meeting today, the Steering Committee voted unanimously to ask you to submit the attached proposed amendment to our ROP to the OASIS Board of Directors for its approval. The amendment adopts the RF on limited terms IPR policy for all LegalXML Member Section Technical Committees, allowing existing TCs two years to convert from the language currently in their charters.
The Steering Committee also asked me to seek OASIS’s support in opposing a pending patent application filed by Content Guard covering the expression of certain legal agreements in electronic form. The proposed patent would impinge upon the work of the eContracts TC and potentially impede the work of the eNotary and Electronic Court Filing TCs. We believe that the application itself is not valid because of prior art. It would be much less expensive to defeat the patent at this stage than to challenge it once issued. I suggest that you ask Jamie to call John Messing for details about the Content Guard patent application and our concerns.
Content Guard is an OASIS member and a member of the LegalXML Member Section.
