Anyone inside or outside the SCTE standards program who wishes to submit an idea for a new project can have it considered by submitting their idea on a Project Authorization Request (PAR) form to the standards staff. Every submission will be considered by the Engineering Committee and, if accepted, assigned to an appropriate Subcommittee for development. 

Download the PAR form

Any document submitted to an SCTE Subcommittee must be accompanied by a Rights Management form which allows the Subcommittee to conduct its business.

Anyone who believes that they have, or that others have, essential patent rights that are impacted by an SCTE standard should notify the SCTE standards staff as soon as possible. A Patent Declaration form is provided for your convenience.
