Subject: Re: RIM patents a URN (and ignores IETF IPR rules)
In my company's case, we file IPR disclosures on patent
applications as well as allowed claims. That is consistent with our
corporate policy of encouraging innovation and patenting
defensively; our disclosures as a rule include the fact that we do
not seek monetary reward unless another party would rather trade
IPR licenses mediated by expensive lawyers than accept a free RFC
1988 license.
Fred - this is not only good corporate practice, disclosure of
patent applications is unambiguously required by RFC 3977.
Of course. But to my small mind, the stronger argument is not "the
rules say..." but "the reason the rules say that is...".
