The associated patent, filed Oct 2008, is at
http://www.google.com/patents?id=Mk7GAAAAEBAJ
and the related draft is
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bakker-sipping-3gpp-ims-xml-body-handling
Quite aside from the question of what the IESG should do about the
registration, my reading of this patent ...
Not to belabor the obvious, but this is not a patent. It is a patent
APPLICATION. No patent has been issued. Indeed, it sounds like no
patent should be issued.
The PTO has a protest process that appears appropriate in this
situation. You can file a protest including prior art with an
explanation of how it relates to the application which will be
included with the application for the examiner.
The rules are quite strict. See here for details:
