CA reserves the right to deny a certificate-signing request or to revoke a
user certificate that contains a name that is found to be generally abusive,
offensive or in conflict with the registered trademark of an organization
unless the requestor shows proof of permission to use such trademark.
Will this apply to non-US registered trademarks? And what if the requestor
shows prro oof of permission in the US of my trademark in the UK, but no
such permission exists in the UK?
5. Business Issues
Because the creation and use of RSA certificates in North America is covered
by the RSA Public-Key Cryptography Patent (U.S. Patent # 4,405,829),
certificates generated by this PCA can only be used in conjunction with RSA
implementations that have been licensed for use by RSA Data Security, Inc.
What happens in the case of non-US CAs? The RSA patent applies only in the
US. RSA is not able to license implementations outside the US due to export
control restrictions, but implementations do exist, and must be used if
PEM is to happen outside the US, which I sincerely hope.
I hope that you would agree to issue certificates to non-US CAs even though
these are not covered by RSA licences.
