Andrew,
In this particular case, the patent was published on Jan. 4, 2007, so
it's difficult to imagine any valid reason to not have disclosed then.
Cheers,
Andy

With regard to the recent discussion on the IETF-Discussion list regarding
RIM’s recent IPR disclosures, I understand the community’s concerns
regarding the timeliness of the disclosure. As I’m sure everyone can
understand, as employees of companies we are bound by confidentiality
obligations and, in addition, cannot always control our company’s internal
processes. The community’s concerns have been brought to the attention of
my employer and they are in the process of evaluating the concerns. My
company has asked for your patience while they take the time to evaluate the
concerns and determine if there is an appropriate course of action in this
matter to alleviate the concerns of the community.
Your understanding is appreciated
Best regards
