Voice Browser Patent Advisory Group Recommends that CCXML Advance

A Patent Advisory Group (PAG) for the Voice Browser Working Group has concluded in a public report that the Working Group should continue to advance the CCXML specification along the W3C Recommendation Track. The conclusion follows an assertion from Nortel that the company does not believe that US patent number 6,701,366 includes any essential claims, as defined of the W3C Patent Policy. Nortel excluded the claims of that patent from its Royalty-Free licensing commitment when it joined the Voice Browser Working Group in June 2005. W3C appreciates communications from Nortel that helped the PAG reach their conclusion. Learn more about the Voice Browser Activity.
