The development and use of collaborative technology such as open source software and industry standards have become widespread in virtually all industries. Increasingly, high profile lawsuits and regulatory activities have focused attention on the unique intellectual property issues that arise in connection with licensing such technology.
In recognition of these trends, this Committee considers the laws, regulations, and judicial and administrative decisions which affect collaborative technology development.
