Abstract

摘要

This document clarifies and updates a single sentence in RFC 3979. Specifically, when third party Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) disclosures are made, the intention is that the IETF Executive Director notify the IPR holder that a third party disclosure has been filed, and to ask the IPR holder whether they have any disclosure that needs to be made, per applicable RFC 3979 rules.

本文件澄清并更新了RFC 3979中的一句话。具体而言,当进行第三方知识产权(IPR)披露时,IETF执行董事应通知知识产权持有人已提交第三方披露,并根据适用的RFC 3979规则询问知识产权持有人是否需要进行任何披露。

1. Introduction
1. 介绍

This document clarifies and updates a single sentence in RFC 3979 [RFC3979]. Specifically, when third party IPR disclosures are made, the intention is that the IETF Executive Director notify the IPR holder that a third party disclosure has been filed, and to ask the IPR holder whether they have any disclosure that needs to be made, per applicable RFC 3979 rules.

本文件澄清并更新了RFC 3979[RFC3979]中的一句话。具体而言,当进行第三方知识产权披露时,IETF执行董事应通知知识产权持有人已提交第三方披露,并根据适用的RFC 3979规则询问知识产权持有人是否需要进行任何披露。

This document updates RFC 3979.

本文件更新了RFC 3979。

2. The Fix
2. 修复

RFC 3979, Section 4 (C), states:

RFC 3979第4(C)节规定:

(C) Where Intellectual Property Rights have been disclosed for IETF Documents as provided in Section 6 of this document, the IETF Executive Director shall request from the discloser of such IPR, a written assurance that upon approval by the IESG for publication as RFCs of the relevant IETF specification(s), all persons will be able to obtain the right to implement, use, distribute and exercise other rights with respect to Implementing Technology under one of the licensing options specified in Section 6.5 below unless such a statement has already been submitted.

(C) 如果已按照本文件第6节的规定披露了IETF文件的知识产权,IETF执行董事应要求此类知识产权的披露方提供书面保证,在IESG批准作为相关IETF规范的RFC发布后,除非已经提交了该声明,否则所有人都将有权根据下文第6.5节规定的许可方案之一实施、使用、分发和行使与实施技术有关的其他权利。

In the case of third party disclosures, it makes no sense to ask the discloser about potential licensing terms, since they do not own the IPR. Instead, it only makes sense to ask the IPR holder.

在第三方披露的情况下,询问披露方潜在的许可条款是没有意义的,因为他们不拥有知识产权。相反,只有询问知识产权持有者才有意义。

This document updates RFC 3979 by changing the word "discloser" to "holder" in the above text.

本文件更新了RFC 3979,将上述文本中的“披露方”改为“持有人”。
