Promoting Compliance with Intellectual Property Rights Disclosure Rules
RFC 6702, “Promoting Compliance with Intellectual Property Rights Disclosure Rules”, is an Informational document published in August 2012 by T. Polk, P. Saint-Andre. It has since been updated by RFC 8717. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The disclosure process for intellectual property rights (IPR) in documents produced within the IETF stream is essential to the accurate development of community consensus. However, this process is not always followed by IETF participants. Regardless of the cause or motivation, noncompliance with IPR disclosure rules can delay or even derail completion of IETF specifications. This document describes some strategies for promoting compliance with the IPR disclosure rules. These strategies are primarily intended for use by area directors, working group chairs, and working group secretaries. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
