Jan. 22, 2008 – Scottsdale, Ariz. – Ray Alderman, executive director of VITA, has reported that a decision was reached in the matter of Motorola vs. VITA regarding VITA's recent adoption of its Ex Ante patent policy.
“I was informed by ANSI and our attorneys this morning that the ANSI Appeals Board found no evidence that VITA's Ex Ante mandatory-disclosure patent policies violate ANSI's Essential Requirements, and VITA's accreditation stands,” Alderman announced.

“ANSI concluded that the decision to reaccredit VITA with these new policies, made by the Executive Standards Council, and the reaffirming decision made by the ExSC Appeals Panel in a previous appeal by Motorola, were correct and valid,” he explained. “ANSI rejected Motorola's arguments, and denied to hear their appeal on the grounds that they showed no evidence that previous ANSI decisions were in error, or violated established ANSI rules and procedures. This was the final appeal board within ANSI.”
