Please be advised that although Steve Coya has apparently not sent a copy of Motorola's letter agreeing to provide terms on their compression patents by 12/31/94, I told him the contents of the letter. He constructively has as much information as anyone else does. Motorola is stalling (IMHO), and the IETF under 1602 has little recourse. Having said which, our legal counsel indicates that there is a problem with the legal directives in 1602 - when a party can assert the existence of a patent and provide neither proof of existence nor cooperation in resolution, the party is on shaky ground. My boss and I have discussed perhaps having Cisco fund the ISOC's getting better counsel and a better plan for dealing with patents and other intellectual property. Is there interest on your part in persuing this? Fred
