Limited license; disclaimer. MIPI grants a limited revocable license, under its copyright rights only, to enable parties to download the applicable MIPI Specification and any accompanying material, and to make and distribute copies only within the downloader’s organization. No other license is granted, either expressly or impliedly, to any intellectual property owned or controlled by MIPI, any MIPI members, or any other party. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all material is provided AS IS and WITH ALL FAULTS, and the authors and developers of this material and MIPI hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions, either express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any (if any) implied warranties, duties or conditions of merchantability, of fitness for a particular purpose, of freedom from intellectual property infringement, of workmanlike effort, and of lack of negligence. The use, implementation, or practice of any portion of a MIPI Specification may involve the use of intellectual property rights, including pending or issued patents, or copyrights or other rights.

Feedback will be non-confidential, and may be freely disclosed by MIPI. MIPI has no obligation to use Feedback. The party providing Feedback grants to MIPI a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide copyright license, with the right to directly and indirectly sublicense, to copy, perform, display, and distribute the Feedback in any way, and to prepare derivative works that are based on or incorporate all or part of the Feedback. Further, if by including such party’s Feedback in a MIPI specification, a patent claim that is owned or controlled by the providing party or an Affiliate becomes a Necessary Claim, then the party hereby grants to all MIPI specification implementers a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license under such Necessary Claim, to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell, lease, sell, promote and otherwise distribute Compliant Portions. “Necessary Claim,” “Compliant Portions” and “Affiliate” will have the meaning set forth in the MIPI Membership Agreement.
