The actual words in RedPhone's current disclosure:

sending and receiving authorizations defined in TLS Authorizations
Extensions (version draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt) do not
infringe upon RedPhone Security's intellectual property rights (IPR)..."


I'm wondering why you reproduced this paragraph and omitted the following
six.  This is not a rhetorical question. -Tim

Because they don't apply to the document we are being asked about.
We aren't being asked about a document defining use cases.

Whenever you implement *anything* involving *any* standard,
some of the use cases might infringe any number of patents.
That's a problem between the implementor and the patent
holders, and doesn't concern the standards body.
