4. ATIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR) & ANTITRUST POLICIES
ATIS Procedure Notice: ATIS Forum and Committee activities must adhere to the ATIS Operating Procedures (including basic principles such as fairness, due process, respect for minority opinions, and common sense).
IPR Notice: In connection with the development of an American National Standard, or other deliverable that requires use of patented inventions, the use of patented inventions shall be governed by the ANSI Patent Policy as adopted by ATIS and as set forth in Section 10 of the "Operating Procedures for ATIS Forums and Committees." Under this policy:
· Disclosure of relevant patented inventions at the earliest possible time in the development process is encouraged. An opportunity will be provided for the members to identify or disclose patents that any member believes may be essential for the use of a standard under development.
· Neither the Committee, nor its leaders, can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any disclosure, investigate the validity or existence of a patent, or determine whether a patent is essential to the use of an ATIS deliverable.
· ATIS prohibits any discussion of licensing terms in its Forums and Committees.
Antitrust Risk Notice: The leaders further remind attendees that participation in industry fora involves the potential for antitrust concerns or risks. To avoid such concerns and risks, participants should carefully observe the "Operating Procedures for ATIS Forums and Committees". In addition, sensitive discussion topics such as price, territories, specific contractual terms, etc., should be avoided.
Questions: Participants having questions, comments, or concerns regarding any of these topics should consult with their company's legal counsel, the Committee leadership, ATIS staff, or ATIS legal counsel.
It was asked if there were any patents to identify or disclose at this time. There were no patent disclosures made by the attendees.

It was noted that -00011R012 is the clean version of -00011R011 and contains input approved at the September 4, 2014, virtual meeting.
Agreement Reached: Participants agreed to accept -00011R012 as the current baseline document as a basis for future contributions.
Participants discussed the distribution of this document for comment outside of the Task Force. It was noted the document will be sent with a cover letter emphasizing the draft document is a “work in progress snapshot”, and that the Task Force is seeking outside comment against it. When the document is distributed to ATIS Committees and industry bodies with relevant work (a list will be determined offline), those groups should be encouraged to circulate the document outside of their organizations to broaden the document’s exposure. To facilitate this, the document should also be posted to an ATIS website that does not require a password. The same process will be used to distribute a draft of the IP Interconnection Routing Report for external comment.
Action Item: Rick Shockey (Shockey Consulting), the ATIS/SIP Forum IP-NNI CO-Chairs and ATIS Management staff to draft a cover letter to accompany the distribution of the IP Interconnection Profile document and the IP Interconnection Routing Report.
