ICC Intellectual Property Policy


ICC has adopted the ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC Guidelines for Implementation of the Common Patent Policy (23 April 2012) as its patent policy.

Rather than modify this document to make it specific to the ICC, the interpretations and clarifications here shall be applied. This policy applies to all documents intended to be submitted for publication by ISO.

The Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration Form for ICC specifications and White Papers is here.

Any specification or other document that is not intended for ISO publication may be subject to a 90-day patent review period within ICC.
