Intellectual Property Rights
Essential patents
IPRs essential or potentially essential to normative deliverables may have been declared to ETSI. The declarations
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, are publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be
found in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to
ETSI in respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the
ETSI IPR online database.
Pursuant to the ETSI Directives including the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation regarding the essentiality of IPRs,
including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not
referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web server) which are, or may be, or may become,
essential to the present document.

The present document may include trademarks and/or tradenames which are asserted and/or registered by their owners.
ETSI claims no ownership of these except for any which are indicated as being the property of ETSI, and conveys no
right to use or reproduce any trademark and/or tradename. Mention of those trademarks in the present document does
not constitute an endorsement by ETSI of products, services or organizations associated with those trademarks.

Foreword
This Special Report (SR) has been produced by ETSI BOARD.
The present document has been prepared on the basis of information received. ETSI has not checked the validity of the
information, nor the relevance of the identified patents/patent applications to the ETSI standards and cannot confirm, or
deny, that the patents/patent applications are, in fact, essential, or potentially Essential. No investigation, or IPR
searches, have been carried out by ETSI and therefore no guarantee can be given concerning the existence of other IPRs
which are, or may become, essential.
It should also be noted that whilst ETSI members are not obliged to conduct IPR searches they are obliged to make
reasonable efforts to inform ETSI of any Essential IPRs of which they become aware (see article 4 of the ETSI IPR
Policy [i.1]).
The present document will be maintained by the ETSI Secretariat and further editions will be issued as, and when,
necessary. Any errors in the information contained in the present document, or any additional information concerning
Essential IPRs, of which readers of the present document become aware, should be notified to the ETSI Secretariat (for
the attention of the Legal Service).
NOTE: The present document is also available at https://www.etsi.org/intellectual-property-rights [i.4].

In the present document "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be
interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
