That is correct, we have not responded directly to you or the IETF Executive 
Director.

Our legal office sent the following message on June 30th to the ietf-
ipr@ietf.org e-mail address (and received an automatic response that the 
message had been received [Inquiry #5374]). I am sure you should have been 
included in the sendlist but for some reason was not. We have not been 
intentionally unresponsive but I apologize for not including you in the 
original update.

It would be nice though to understand why the content of this message was not 
also published on the IETF IPR web-page when it was received. 

I hope this e-mail will clarify the situation enough for the WG to proceed as 
it see fit. As far as PacketFront is concerned we believe that this statement 
is sufficiently clear and that the IPR issues with the subscriber-id draft are 
now resolved to the extent they can be.

Ämne: Regarding draft-ietf-dhc-subscriber-id-06.

Based on a request from the IETF Dynamic Host Configuration WG, PacketFront
Sweden AB hereby would like to make an additional update of its IPR
notification from April 17, 2003 and January 29, 2004. 

The document draft-ietf-dhc-subscriber-id-06.txt describes technology or
solutions for which PacketFront has related patents or patent applications
pending.

If a document based on this draft becomes an IETF standard PacketFront is
prepared to provide a royalty-free license, on otherwise reasonable and
non-discriminatory terms based on reciprocity (grant back), any related
PacketFront patents to the extent required to comply with the standard.
