Please let me know if you have any Intellectual Property related to XJDF 2.1, JDF 1.7 or PrintTalk 2.1 and if so which of the options you choose to grant:
A.) When requested, Member will grant a license to any such patent claim, at any time issued,
without compensation, to any applicant, regardless of competitive status, desiring to utilize
the license for the purpose of implementing the Specification; or
B.) When requested, Member will grant a license to any such patent claimant any time issued, to
any applicant, regardless of competitive status, under fair and reasonable terms and conditions,

The 60 day review period ends on June 30 2020. Minor technical and editorial modifications may still be applied and will be tracked in the CIP4 issue tracking system:Â https://jira.cip4.org

CIP4 aims to publish all specifications simultaneously, therefore PrintTalk 2.1 is being updated to 2.1 although very few technical changes are anticipated due to the fact that PrintTalk 2.0 has just recently been released.
