Are disclosures documented publicly?
Yes. Each OASIS TC’s IPR page documents all disclosures received by OASIS, principally from its members, in relation to the work of that Committee. Information on TC Participants and their respective participation periods also is posted at the OASIS web site. TC Participants are obligated to disclose claims that are actually known to be, or might become essential to a Committee Specification or OASIS Standard. When an OASIS Standard is balloted, supporting documentation includes a list of current TC Participants. OASIS also publishes a call to all members for the disclosure of any essential claims during the public review of each approved specification.
