In case it has escaped your attention, they have included SPF classic in
their patent application, which they did not invent. That is about as bad
faith a maneuver as I can imagine.
What made it even worse is that they compounded this by making false
statements to the MARID WG. Before the patent application was
published their representative on MARID was specifically asked if the
potential IPR (ie the patent application) covered SPF or other
techniques. The response was a definite negative, that the potential
IPR only covers the two MARID drafts in combination. As we now see,
the patent application covers a lot more than this.
