What are TAG participant disclosure obligations?
Disclosure obligations for TAG participants are those of any other W3C participant (as described in section 6.1 of the policy) except with respect to the definition of third-party patents. Per section 6.7 states that: Disclosure of third party patents is only required where the Advisory Committee Representative or Working Group participant has been made aware that the third party patent holder or applicant has asserted that its patent contains Essential Claims, unless such disclosure would breach a pre-existing non-disclosure obligation. For TAG participants who are employees of a Member organization, patents controlled by the Member organization are not considered third-party patents. Thus, the scope of the individual’s disclosure obligation includes them.
