The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Patent Group and Intellectual Property Rights Policy Committee  approved two guideline documents on software in standards and embedded trademarks. ANSI Guidelines on Software in Standards details the inclusion of normative software in American National Standards (ANS) when the software is intended to be extracted for use in implementations of the standard. ANSI Guidelines on Embedded Trademark provides guidance on trademarks, service marks, and certification marks as forms of intellectual property. ANSI's patent policy and accompanying Guidelines for implementation of the patent policy were  also revised  in 2008
