What's very amusing is reading section 5 of the draft, wherein the author distributes credit to a number of parties. If Cisco were to file a patent
at this point and not include those parties (including other companies),the patent validity would be at risk by reason of excluding a contributor. If Cisco does include all of those other companies in the patent, then all of
them must also present the IETF with relevant IPR statements.Frankly, this is yet another PR blunder by Cisco. If they had simply said nothing or formally put their contribution into the public domain, they wouldn't
look so egregiously greedy. Tony On May 11, 2004, at 3:46 PM, David Krause wrote:
