W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy." 83035 2 fredandw 2013-02-12 20:10:59 +0000 The EME appears to try to separate itself from the CDM and it is not clear that the CDM would fall under the W3C terms.

The EME specification already constrains the CDM, and people competent in this area would know that the main use case for the EME specification may well require the use of patented technology. The refusal to address this bug raises a concern about the competence of task force or that they are acting in good faith.
