• TC184/SC4 Issues : JT as a CAD standard from ISO TC184/SC4
  • Web3D is asking ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24 what are the ISO procedures and rules for patents in ISO standards.
  • We might invite TC184/SC4 to brief JTC1/SC24 and X3D CAD Working Group on their new standard.
    • Dick please find/add link to relevant ISO standards documents
    • Does this standard include patents and licensing fees?

    • "Siemens’ JT Data Format Accepted as the World’s First ISO International Standard for Viewing and Sharing Lightweight 3D Product Information"
