(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. |
