Call for Patents

As INCITS subscribes to the ANSI Patent Policy, a call for patents and pertinent issues is issued
throughout the development of a project to determine if a proposed standard may require the use of a
patented invention. INCITS also encourages disclosure, where possible, of the existence of pending
U.S. patent applications relating to the standard under development, and of any relevant unexpired
foreign patents.

If such notice is received, INCITS seeks a statement that the patent holder will comply with the ANSI
Patent Policy.

Please send the completed patent declaration form to:
