isn’t just a review – you’re granting IP rights if you don’t
make a declaration. This is exactly why some companies don’t
join some groups – so they aren’t interested making IP grants or

participate in. And I don’t blame them … why do all that work

I naively thought that once an organization is being notified about
a possible IP conflict, they MUST review in order to claim possible
IP rights. Isn't this the process we follow at a specific WG level?
What happens if a Member neglects to review a Maintenance Guideline
and later finds out that they had IP rights that have made it into a
Final Guideline?<br>

Just curious :)<br>
