Apparently, publishing a message as "experimental" is an invitation by
the IETF to experiment with a new protocol. What sense does that bear,
if accepting IETF invitations is likely to result in legal troubles?

Or are some at IETF actually trying to set implementers up for legal
action by
refusing to evaluate *disclosed* threats?
Helping hapless implementers evaluate patent threats
sounds like a job for the Internet Legal Task Force.
I believe they're two doors down, on the right...

6.18 Legal and Regulatory Initiatives
The Executive Director briefed the Board on the developments relating
to the proposed Internet Legal Task Force (ILTF), a proposed body
whose objective was described as the investigation of various legal
issues regarding the Internet and its social impact. The sense of the
Board was to invite those interested in such an agenda to participate
within the IETF framework and ISOC conference structure, but the Board
did not wish to endorse the formation of an ILTF as a part of the ISOC
organizational structure.
