(a) Side impact dummies

158. The Chair of AC.3 recalled that intellectual property rights were held by dummy manufacturers and had hampered their introduction into M.R.1. in the past. He emphasized that good experience had been made during the work on GTR No. 9, Phase 2 with the FlexPLI where the dummy manufacturer had provided the set of drawings for the test tool and had agreed to have the disclaimer on intellectual property rights removed from the drawings, which was done after the positive vote on the Phase 2 amendment in AC.3.
