It should be noted that the duty to disclose IPR is NOT ONLY for the authors
of a draft, and the IETF "reminder" system seems to be focused solely on
authors. The duty to disclose IPR lies with any individual or company that
participates in the IETF not just authors.
Companies don't participate in the IETF; the duty of disclosure is
specifically placed on individual contributors and applies to
patents "reasonably and personally known" to them.
IANAL but I did read the BCP.
