Notes
|
|
The IPR declarations related to GSM 03.19 (TS 101 476) from Sun Microsystems Inc. have been removed from the ETSI IPR online database at the request of Directorate General Competition of the European Commission.
DG Competition's argument for such a removal, based on evidence they have gathered, is that the presence of these IPR declarations in the IPR online database and SR 000 314 amounts to a measurable distortion of competition in the relevant market. ETSI recognises DG Competition as the competent body to assess distortion of competition in the EU market. Consequently, ETSI considers itself to be under an obligation to take this action in this exceptional case.
The removal of these declarations from the ETSI IPR online database and SR 000 314 must not be taken to imply any judgement by ETSI on the essentiality of the relevant IPR. DG Competition has confirmed that this removal is without prejudice to SUN Microsystems Inc.'s right to enforce their relevant patents.
NOTE: SUN Microsystems Inc. still maintains their declarations of 19 January 2001 with respect to GSM 03.19 (TS 101 476) and their willingness to comply with the ETSI IPR Policy.
These original licensing declarations are available on request from the ETSI Legal Advisor. It should be noted that Sun Microsystems Inc. in their letter of 26 February 2003 to ETSI expressed their continuing belief that they "own patents that might be infringed by every compliant implementation of GSM 03.19 (TS 101 476)".
The technical evidence as provided by DG Competition which challenges the essential nature of SUN Microsystems Inc.'s patents is also available on request from the ETSI Legal Advisor.
