Abstract
The AVS Workgroup has developed an IPR Policy to facilitate the adoption of standards in the marketplace. The policy is based on consideration of IPR issues in parallel with the technical work for drafting the standard. The paper describes the relationship between IPR and the standard, and how the goals for the standard must be complemented by goals for the IPR. The existing IPR policies of the ITU and ISO are outlined, and then the AVS IPR policy is described, organized by its three main components: commitment to license on declared basic terms, disclosure of intellectual property, and protection of IPR.
