Excerpts from Thierry Moreau on Wed, Feb 11, 2009 09:53:42AM -0500:
You seem to assume that patent rights are created by the IPR
disclosure, while they are created by the *patent* (in this case
still at the application stage) that you didn't study.
Actually intellectual property rights are never firm until tested in
the courts, and even after that they may change.
Obviously. However a big step towards determinism is achieved when
someone actually reads the patent application versus *not reading*.
My point is that IETF participants doing their assessment of the pros
and cons should at least be aware that the reference citation in the
IETF IPR disclosue entry (e.g. US patent application 11/234,404 in the
present instance) is highly relevant. Protocol engineering is improved
when relevant facts are taken into consideration.
