Abstract
								Fairfield Resources International has conducted a study, with  financial support from a  wireless equipment maker,  of intellectual property related to GSM  cellular technology. This technology is embodied in standards documents published by  the Third Generation Partnership Project, accessible at  www.3gpp.org. The aims of the  study are to examine the nature  of the technology covered by the intellectual  property, the  ownership of the intellectual  property and the extent to which technical experts judge the  intellectual property to be  technically essential  to implementing the standards.
