The IETF policies about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), such as
patent rights, relative to technologies developed in the IETF are
designed to ensure that IETF working groups and participants have as
much information as possible about any IPR constraints on a technical
proposal as early as possible in the development process. The
policies are intended to benefit the Internet community and the
public at large, while respecting the legitimate rights of IPR
holders. This document sets out the IETF policies concerning IPR
related to technology worked on within the IETF. It also
describes the objectives that the policies are designed to meet.
This document updates RFC 2026 and, with RFC 5378, replaces Section 10
of RFC 2026. This document also obsoletes RFCs 3979 and 4879.
BCP: This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
