Patent Policy: Reiteration Plan
The Working Group Chair or his or her designee shall issue the call at
every Working Group meeting.
If a group is “meeting” for consecutive days and the attendance is
substantially the same for each day of the gathering, the policy only
needs to be read once. If the chair plans not to read or display the
policy each day, then the chair must either (a) ensure that the policy
or a URL for it has been sent out to all attendees prior to the meeting
(and is available in the registration packet for any on-site registrants),
or (b) announce each day that the meeting is subject to the patent
policy as read or displayed on the first day.
Note, though, that this rule applies separately to each “group” that is
“meeting” during the week. For example, if a working group holds
a meeting during the same week as its task group, task force,
and/or study group, the chair of each of those groups must read
or display the policy at the beginning of that group’s first day of
“meeting.”
