For previous correspondence on this question, see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200711/msg00015.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200711/msg00026.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200711/msg00027.html Response follows separately. Jon ================================================================== Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:02:32 +0100 From: "von Riegen, Claus" <claus.von.riegen@sap.com> Subject: AW: Scope of SAP patents related to UBL and ebXML To: jon.bosak@sun.com Cc: eduardo.gutentag@sun.com, jamie.clark@oasis-open.org, ubl@lists.oasis-open.org Dear Jon, Thanks for forwarding my reply. Your interpretation is correct as far as the participation and licensing obligations are concerned that SAP incurs through participation in UN/CEFACT Permanent Groups. What I have not stated, but what is certainly also true, is that SAP incurs participation and licensing obligations for those OASIS Technical Committees in which it participates. Thus, as far as the specifications are concerned that have been published by such UN/CEFACT Permanent Groups and such OASIS Technical Committees, SAP - as every other participant - is simply bound to the respective IPR policies and has voluntarily decided to either waive it rights to enforce intellectual property rights or to license them on a royalty-free basis. I hope that this helps. If there are still questions remaining, I'd suggest that we set up a phone call to discuss.
