Will IEEE’s well-noted neutrality in standards development be impacted by Via’s efforts to ensure the commercial success of the patent pools it forms?
IEEE has always been interested in the success of its standards and the working groups that develop them. The relationship with Via Licensing has been designed such that IEEE is only involved in the pre-commercial phase. IEEE will not be involved in any commercial issues (e.g., determination of essential patents, or licensing terms). The role of IEEE will be focused on fostering the patent pool process through education and promotion. All patent licensing administration functions will be performed by Via Licensing independent of IEEE.
