Intellectual Property Rights for AIS Issue (IPR)

As a non-governmental organization (NGO) it is not within the mandate of IALA to procure official IPR statements from manufacturers. However, this issue has been of concern for our members. Attached to this site please find a number of faxes that were received at IALA during initial discussions on AIS. As well, there are links to various areas on the internet where more information on this issue can be obtained.

ITU information on the IPR for AIS can be found at the web site:
