Yes - both patents attempt to take control of the adding of tlds to a root
zone file. The second patent recorded on 6 July 2005 is an attempt to
further recognize the proceedure as being commercial. Will need some

For Non Dutch Speaking people, these two URL's both contain a very
important part:
8<----------------
Beperkingen: 4. GEWEIGERD / AFGEWEZEN 20050404
---------------->8
Which translates to:
8<----------------
Limitations: 4. REJECTED 20050404
---------------->8
In other words, nobody is getting any patent.
There would be a lot of prior art anyway ;)
Now back to your normal IETF schedule....
