- TIA Intellectual Property Rights (Early Disclosure Policy)
TIA’s Intellectual Property Rights Policy can be found in Statements of Policy (ANNEX C) and other clauses and annexes of TIA Standards Development Procedures. Participants in the work of the TIA Formulating Groups are urged to review the appropriate sections. Individual participants are encouraged to notify TIA of any patent(s) or published pending patent application(s) of which they are aware that may be essential to the practice of a proposed TIA Publication, including requirements introduced through normative references, early on in the development to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the proposed TIA Publication will become a Standard. However, a Patent Holder who has provided TIA with a TIA Patent Holder Statement with respect to the applicable proposed TIA Publication need not (but may elect to) identify its specific patent(s) or published pending patent application(s) that may be essential to the practice of the proposed TIA Publication in question. Patent searches are not required to comply with the TIA Intellectual Property Rights Policy.
