d. No right to implementation of any Thread Group specification (“Specification”) is granted to you by

this License Agreement. Members of Thread Group may hold patents and other intellectual property

rights relating to the Specification, ownership and licenses of which are subject to the Thread Group’s IP

Group is necessary to implement, practice, and ship Thread technology and Thread Group specifications.

Failure to maintain active Thread Group membership while shipping Thread technology may result in

legal action, including but not limited to licensing fees. Implementation of the Specification may also

implicate intellectual property rights of non-members that are not subject to the Thread Group licensing

obligations.

publicity without specific, written prior permission of Thread Group.
