Review Agenda
Reminder of the IP Policy, Anti-trust, and Duty of Trust of Directors
The IVI Foundation has an IP policy that could require that some of your corporations IP be licensed to the IVI Foundation and its members at no cost. Every participant in the IVI meetings should be familiar with the obligations that participation in the standard incurs on your company.
Every member of the consortium is encouraged to familiarize themselves with legal requirements regarding anti-trust violations. Members need to be cautious and refrain from discussing markets and pricing.
Directors have a duty to the IVI Foundation. They are legally and ethically obligated to do the “right thing” for the IVI Foundation since they serve as a principal of that organization, if this conflicts with other responsibilities such as their duty to their employer, they need to take appropriate actions to resolve the conflict of interest.
