<h3>Introduction</h3>

<p class="details">The Patent Policy Activity's goal is to enable W3C to
implement and successfully operate the W3C Patent Policy, put into place in
February 2004. While the work of developing and implementing the Patent
Policy is complete, we believe that it is important that the W3C community
have an organized way to monitor application of the Policy as well as remain
informed about relevant development in the legal and standards
environment.</p>

<p class="details">The primary work in the Activity is carried out by the <a
href="psig/">Patent and Standards Interest Group</a>.</p>

<h3>The Patent and Standards Interest Group</h3>

<p class="details">The <a href="psig/Overview.html">Patent and Standards
Interest Group (PSIG)</a> is a forum for W3C Members and Invited Experts to
discuss policy issues regarding the implementation of the W3C Patent Policy
as well as new Patent-related questions that arise which require action or
attention from the W3C Membership.</p>
