<h1>Patent Policy Activity Statement</h1>
<p class="firstelement">The Patent Policy Activity's goal is to enable W3C to
implement and successfully operate the <a href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/">
W3C Patent Policy</a>. The policy was put into place in February 2004,
and the work of developing and implementing it is complete. It is important
that the W3C community have an organized way to monitor application of
the policy as well as remain informed about relevant developments in
the legal and standards environment.</p>
<h2>Highlights Since the Previous Advisory Committee Meeting</h2>
<p class="firstelement">The <a href="psig/Overview.html">Patent and Standards
Interest Group</a> (PSIG) is now operational. It responded to W3C Member's questions
around the Patent Policy. It also gave advise on several new entries in the
<a href="../../2003/12/22-pp-faq.html">Patent Policy FAQ</a>.
was launched in December 2004 and started operations.
Several questions were addressed and suggestions were delivered to the W3C Team. There was no public
statement as all questions addressed Member confidential matters.</p>
<p>The PSIG is addressing questions around the Patent Policy,
including the difficult balancing of Patent Policy commitments
in the new <a href="http://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/cla/">W3C Community Contributor License Agreement (CLA)</a>. Evidently, the PSIG continues to
monitor the operation of the W3C Patent Policy and to issue new
<a href="../../2003/12/22-pp-faq.html">FAQ items</a> on a per need basis.</p>
<h2>Upcoming Activity Highlights</h2>
<p class="firstelement">The PSIG has just finished the discussion about the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/cla/">W3C Community
Contributor License Agreement (CLA)</a>. Currently, the discussion focuses
around what the next steps could be. This includes the evaluation and reform
of the Patent Policy and the versioning-question that is still not entirely
solved. </p>
