Re: [dnssd] IPR on draft-ietf-dnssd-prireq

[Christian Huitema <[e-mail]>]

I am not aware of IPR directly related to draft-ietf-dnssd-prireq.

The draft lists a set of requirements for performing private discovery,
and I am not aware of patent applications or other IPR applying
generally to this problem statement. On the other hand, I am aware of
attempts to find and patent solution to related problems. I am listed as
an inventor on related patents filed by my former employer, Microsoft:
"Gateway Advertisement in a Wireless Mesh" (US Patent Application
#20170034773) and "DISCOVERING AND PROTECTING DATA STREAMS IN MULTI-PATH
COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENTS" (US Patent Application #20180152976). I do
not believe that this patents directly apply to draft-ietf-dnssd-prireq.
