W3C Patent policy?
Essential Claims
shall mean all claims in any
patent or patent application in any jurisdiction in the world
that would necessarily be infringed by implementation of the
Recommendation.
In other words, unless the Group produces W3C Recommendations,
the W3C Patent Policy won't apply, but disclosure rules on W3C
Recommendations will.
