By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to theexistence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant hasfiled a statement of assurance via an
31、 Accepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-SA Website at http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Letters of Assurance may indicatewhether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation orunder reasonable
