     202<p>Any idea submitted in a BEP will not be considered for standardization 
     203if the idea is not in the public domain.  Before a BEP can be 
     204considered Final, all people or entities with a claim on the 
     205intellectual property expressed in a BEP (including the BEP authors) 
     206must assign in writing all intellectual property expressed in the BEP 
     207to the public domain.  If the BEP authors lack the power to assign 
     208intellectual property rights then they must disclose this fact before 
     209the BEP can be considered Final.</p> 
     210<p>Furthermore BEP authors should not knowingly propose anything in their 
     211BEPs that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.</p>
