HTML Patent Advisory Group (PAG) Public Home Page

Under W3C Current Patent Practice, this Patent Advisory Group (PAG) was launched due to the discovery of specific patent claims likely to be essential to W3C work that are not available on royalty free terms. As stated in its charter, the mission of the HTML PAG is to study issues for HTML-related Working Drafts and Recommendations raised by the court case of Eolas v. Microsoft and US Patent 5,838,906 in which the court ordered that royalty fees be paid to the patent holder.
