The most hotly debated issue at this year's GCR IP &
Antitrust Conference, held on April 14 in Washington, DC, was the

business review letter says that the DOJ does not intend to
challenge proposed changes to the IEEE Standards Association's
patent policy aimed at encouraging licensing of standard-essential
patents on reasonable and nondiscriminatory (RAND) terms.
This alert summarizes the discussions, the DOJ's defense of
its business review letter, and the implications for the high-tech
industry.
