(GIPS) in 2011, and GIPS is now a +subsidiary of Google. Google Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Google") +would like to update and clarify their position with respect to any patents and +patent applications it may own that cover the iLBC (internet low bit-rate) codec +technology that is the subject of IETF RFC 3951 and RFC 3952. This notice is +provided in accordance with RFC 3979 and RFC 4879 covering IPR in the IETF. + + +DECLARATION + +"iLBC Specification" means IETF RFC 3951 and RFC 3952. + +Google hereby grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, +irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, +use, offer to sell, sell, import, transfer, and otherwise run, modify and +propagate implementations of the iLBC Specification, where such license applies +only to those patent claims, both currently owned by Google and acquired in the +future, licensable by Google that must necessarily be infringed because of what +is specifically required by the normative portions of the iLBC Specification. +This license is offered on the condition that you grant a reciprocal license +under the same terms as this license to all parties for implementations of the +iLBC Specification under those patent claims, both currently owned by you and +acquired in the future, licensable by you that must necessarily be infringed +because of what is specifically required by the normative portions of the iLBC +Specification. If you or your agent or exclusive licensee institute or order or +agree to the institution of patent litigation against any entity (including a +cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any implementation of the +iLBC Specification constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, or +inducement of patent infringement, then any patent rights granted to you under +this license shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. + +In addition to the license above relating to what is required by the specification, +the following license relating to the reference implementation is offered. + +"The iLBC reference implementation" means the c-code reference implementation in +Appendix A of IETF RFC 3951. + +Google hereby grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, +irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, +use, offer to sell, sell, import, transfer, and otherwise run, modify and propagate +the iLBC reference implementation, where such license applies only to those patent +claims, both currently owned by Google and acquired in the future, licensable by +Google that are necessarily infringed by the iLBC reference implementation. This +grant does not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of +further modification of the iLBC reference implementation. If you or your agent or +exclusive licensee institute or order or agree to the institution of patent +litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a +lawsuit) alleging that the iLBC reference implementation constitutes direct or +contributory patent infringement, or inducement of patent infringement, then any +patent rights granted to you under this License shall terminate as of the date such +litigation is filed. + + +Submitted Date + +November 8, 2011 + + +Patent Holder/Applicant + +Google Inc. + + +Patent Holder's Contact for License Application + +Scott K Peterson + +Telephone: +1 617 299 9282 +Email: standards-licensing@google.com + + +Contact Information + +Jan Linden +Telephone: +1 415 690 7610 +Email: jtlinden@google.com + + +IETF Document or Other Contribution to Which this IPR Disclosure Relates + +RFC 3951: "Internet Low Bit Rate Codec" +RFC 3952: "RTP Payload Format for iLBC Speech" + + +References + +https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1649/ +https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/319/
