(Original Publish Date: 2012)

These Guidelines are intended to assist voluntary standards developers, and those that participate in the standards development process, in understanding and implementing the ANSI Patent Policy (the "Patent Policy", see Exhibit A). Drafted by a task force formed by ANSI for the purpose of studying the Patent Policy, the Guidelines seek to encourage the early disclosure and identification of patents that may relate to standards under development, so as to thereby promote greater efficiency in standards development practices.
