I didnot want to make money with this. Because I really thought that what I
gave online on the ICANN mailing list was quite basic, and correctly
describing what was finally published by the IETF in its RFC.

Regarding filing dates, it's possible, because I don't know much about the
US patent system, I only swathe publication date. Is it what you callafull
disclosure or IP rights?

I also note the signature of the Patent: it was an IETF participant at least
at end of 1999, and probably in mid-2000 as well, so theirs is real doubt
about his honesty (but this is difficult to judge now, given that the
disclosure of IP rights assignments were secured only in the last few
years.)

If I come so late on this issue, it's only because I rediscovered my old
message archived on ICANN server along with the patent claim, using a google
search on my own name.

Thanks for your reply. I hop that my message will not cause you more legal
harassment with this Patent, and this was really disturbing for me, to see
that you were abused, for something that I discussed before the patent was
disclosed publicly in late 2006.
