Hi, all,

The Accellera Board approved a new Patent Policy modeled after the one
in the IEEE.  What this will mean for you is that, effective
immediately, each of the TSC meetings needs to begin with the reading of
the Patent Slides that can be found as described below.  If you have any
trouble accessing them, please let Lynn Horobin know.  Please let me
know if you have any questions.

The Patent documents are:

Accellera Patent Slide
Accellera Antitrust Slide
Accellera Antitrust Guidelines
Accellera Letter of Assurance
Accellera Letter of Assurance Coverletter
Accellera Patent Policy Q&A
Accellera Patent Policy (note there are some cosmetic edits to be done
but the content is complete).
http://www.accellera.org/apps/org/workgroup/bod/documents.php?folder_id=111#folder_111

Note that there are placeholders in the documents where we need to
insert specific web links, where the docs will reside. We are in the
process of making those permanent and will update the docs accordingly.

Thanks,

Karen
