 Is the FTC on its way to dismantling JEDEC? - The INQUIRER
If current members are subjected to JEDEC rules, as interpreted by the FTC's understanding of them, they may not only find the newfound disclosure obligations extremely burdensome to fulfill, they may realize they're at risk of losing extremely valuable patent applications to the interests of the committee's future standardization efforts.
According to the FTC’s interpretation of JEDEC disclosure duty, members such as Rambus are required to disclose their patent applications, as well as their intentions to apply for patents that may relate to a standard being discussed.
If the FTC were to require JEDEC members to disclose patent applications at an early time in the standardization process, the new rule would be a detour from the guidelines of JEDEC’s parent organizations, the EIA³; and ANSI4.

 Finnegan Henderson - Article - JEDEC Patent Mandates
A JEDEC manual also directed committee chairmen to “call attention to the obligation of all participants” to divulge its relevant patents or patent applications, but there was no evidence that that directive was ever shown to JEDEC members.
With respect to the scope of the duty, the court focused on the language of the patent policy referring to information “covered by” the patent or patent application, concluding that the scope of the disclosure duty was not “unbounded,” but depended on the subject matter claimed in the patent.
Judge Prost found a broader disclosure duty based on the statement in the JEDEC manual referring to an obligation of members to identify patents/patent applications “that might be involved in the work they are undertaking” on the committee.

 RAMBUS v. INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES
JEDEC meetings are open meetings, but nonmembers must receive an invitation to attend.
Standards that call for the use of a patented item or process may not be considered by a JEDEC committee unless all of the relevant technical information covered by the patent or pending patent is known to the committee, subcommittee, or working group.
Brown, a JEDEC consultant who edits the standards and maintains the activity log for committee JC-42, testified that the disclosure duty arises only if the “material [being discussed] is described as part of a legitimate proposal that’s aimed at a standard.”  Giving Infineon the benefit of all reasonable inferences, Mr.

 DailyTech - JEDEC Chairman Denies Endorsement for NVIDIA EPP
NVIDIA cast the first stone at JEDEC, the standards committee for solid state memory devices, claiming existing JEDEC specifications are missing critical specifications for overclocking.
As chairman of the JEDEC SPD Task Group, I feel it is my responsibility to inform the committee that this EPP specification was not developed in my task group.
Previous standards proposed to JEDEC have sometimes taken years to get final approval, which means NVIDIA's Tritium program may already be facing hostility before it gets out the door.

The lab's decision comes at a time when JEDEC is thinking of creating its own test program to certify that memory chips and modules comply with the industry group's standards.
Deters argued that the strict JEDEC specs are preventing innovative module makers from improving designs and engineering methods that would help differentiate their products.
Next month, JEDEC's board of directors is scheduled to hear from the task force, and the JC42 memory committee will take up the matter at its meeting in June.

 Rambus
By construing the JEDEC patent disclosure policy to effectively require a complete infringement analysis comparing the claims of the patent or patent application to the relevant standard, it may be that IPR policies and practices adopted by many other standards development organizations will be adversely affected by the precedent.
“JEDEC’s disclosure policy required its members to disclose patents and pending applications that ‘might be involved in the work they are undertaking.’ While the majority rejected this standard as unbounded, nothing required JEDEC to formulate its policy with precision and clarity.
The appellate court said the JEDEC rules for patent disclosure during standards deliberations were vague and conflicting and that Rambus was not obligated to reveal its patents until ballots were cast for the SDRAM standard.

 Rambus target of FTC antitrust suit | CNET News.com
The FTC, which voted 5-0 to file the lawsuit, alleges that Rambus violated antitrust laws by deliberately not disclosing key patent applications, among other acts, while it was a member of the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (formerly known as the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council).
According to the suit, JEDEC adopted design specifications for SDRAM, the most common form of memory on the market, that overlapped on patents eventually awarded to Rambus.
While a member of JEDEC, Rambus didn't try to persuade JEDEC memory committees to vote on proposals that would affect its patents and didn't vote on any, Rambus officials have said.

At the time of writing (December 2004), DDR is still the main memory standard, but DDR2 is now supported by some chipsets and is beginning initial adoption.
DDR2 is expected to become the major standard in 2005, while DDR-3 is under development and standardization within JEDEC has started.
The difference between DDR, DDR2, DDR-3 is mostly in differing supply voltages, different speed classes, as well as some changes in the exact specification of the interface.

It turns out that JEDEC is not trying to wrestle control of the 802.11 technologies away from the IEEE group.
JEDEC and the 802.11 Working Group are "working in tandem for the good of the market and standards positioning," declared Stuart J. Kerry, chairman of the IEEE 802.11 Working Group, in an e-mail sent to SBN.
In sharp contrast, JEDEC officials were quick to point out that each company receives only one vote in the standards process, thereby solving some of the political problems, according to analysts.

 Ethical Standards ; 4/24/2000
Hitachi says that JEDEC policies predating Rambus's participation require JEDEC members to disclose any patent applications that relate to the work of JEDEC committees to which these members belong.
The company disclosed one patent to JEDEC in 1993 (one that is not among those at issue today), and in 1995 it was careful to disclaim any position on the Synclink proposal, then under development in another JEDEC committee.
The value lies in the cooperation among JEDEC members, and the terms of the agreement were expressed in JEDEC's policies.
