Opening session:
Workshop Chair: Ms. Amy Marasco (Microsoft)

Objectives: This workshop is being convened
to provide a forum, hosted by the ITU, to discuss
current issues relating to the inclusion of patented
technology in standards and the patent policy
approaches to address those issues. International
experts from both the public and private sectors
from around the world will help provide an overview
of the issues and share their insights on present
and future developments.

Session 1: Governments’ Perspectives on Standards
and IPR Policy Issues
Coordinator: Mr. Serge Raes (France Telecom)
[ Biography ]
Objectives: The public sector is becoming
increasingly involved in the discussion of issues
relating to the inclusion of patented technology in
standards. The experts in this session will provide
insight into government perspectives in their
particular region of the world, on both the issues
themselves as well as the role of governments in
helping to shape patent policy approaches that could
be adopted by standards-setting organizations.

Session 2: PTO perspectives on Standards and IPR
Issues
Coordinator: Mr. Kishik Park (Electronics and
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI)
[ Biography ]
Objectives: Government Patent Offices are
increasingly considering whether they should
formulate opinions on the interplay between
standards and patents. They also are exploring the
possibility of developing possible interfaces with
standards-setting organizations. For example, at the
12th meeting of the Global Standards Collaboration (GSC),
the participating standards organizations passed a
resolution encouraging them “to cooperate with the
relevant Patent and Trademark Offices to provide
access to technical information for use by such
Agencies that should help them improve the quality
of patents being granted.” The experts in this
session will provide insight into government
perspectives in their particular region of the
world.
Speakers:
- Mr. Michel Goudelis (European Patent Office (EPO)): How to improve the Interface between standard setting organizations and patent examining authorities
[ Biography | Presentation ]
- Mr. Konstantinos Karachalios (European Patent Office (EPO)): Whose Game? The battles around global standards through the lens of EPO's scenarios

Session 3: Standards-setting bodies’ Perspectives
on Standards and IPR Issues
Coordinator: Mr. Keith Chu (Teridian)
[ Biography ]
Objectives: Standards-setting organizations
are important fora where debates over patent
policies are taking place. These organizations and
their stakeholders often deliberate whether certain
proposals to revise their operative patent policy
will – or will not - improve the standards-setting
process and make it more effective or efficient.
These debates frequently bring into question the
extent to which standards-setting bodies are
appropriate venues to address patent and patent
licensing issues in greater detail. Another related
issue is the possible impact on the
standards-setting process and incentives for
stakeholders to both participate in that process and
have their innovative technology included in the
standard. The experts in this session from
standard-setting bodies in different regions of the
world will provide insight into the debates that
have taken place under their auspices and some of
the conclusions reached.
