INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Google Inc. acquired Global IP Solutions, Inc. (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.
