This is an application number for a patent application filed between 93 and 97
(that's what the 08 at the beginning indicates). The USPTO doesn't keep these
online prior to 2001 as near as I can tell, but Google has a patent which
points to the resultant patent and application.
US 5874938 should be the right patent based on the application number.

I hope that someone can bridge the gap in my understanding between the IETF
databases and those of the USPTO.
Looking, for example, at
http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1339/
I see
Patent, Serial, Publication, Registration, or Application/File number(s): US
12/708048
but when I go to the USPTO to search, they want a seven digit number for
granted
patents. Rather, this looks like an application number (not a patent number)
but my searches for an application with that number fail as well, incorrect
format.
I can search full text and find US Patent 7593340 but that does not seem to
share any data with the IETF tracker.
(Incidentally, were I able to read Finnish, then there is an excellent database
and I think I could retrieve what I wanted - but I cannot:-(
Help appreciated.
