Dear Advisory Committee Representatives, Team Contact, 

This is a W3C Patent Policy Call for Exclusions for the following
Recommendation Track document upon publication of its First Public Working Draft:

  RDF 1.2 Schema
  https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/WD-rdf12-schema-20230516/
  exclusion opportunity ending on 2023-10-13
  This specification was produced by:
      - the RDF-star Working Group
  
If you do not wish to exclude patent claims during this exclusion
opportunity, no further action is required. Member participants who
think their organization may have patent claims to exclude should
contact their Advisory Committee Representative.

Participants made a Royalty-Free licensing commitment upon joining this
Working Group. With the publication of this document, per section 4.1 of
the Patent Policy [1], Participants have an opportunity until 2023-10-13
to exclude patent claims reading on this Recommendation-track document.
Excluded claims are not subject to the licensing requirements of the W3C
Patent Policy for this document. For more information about exclusions,

The Patent Policy anticipates that the documents will evolve during the
90 days following the first publication.  Per section 4.1 of the Patent
Policy [1], whatever draft is available on 2023-08-14 establishes the
reference material for the purposes of this exclusion opportunity.
Just after 2023-08-14 we will send a reminder of this exclusion opportunity.

Per section 4.2 of the Patent Policy [2], a Participant may resign from
the Working Group before 2023-08-14 and be excused from all licensing
commitments arising out of Working Group participation.

To resign from the Working Group before 2023-08-14, please use the
