The authors all responded including of course the author from the 
company that
filed the IPR. All indicated that no additional IPR was known about.

The IPR disclosure shows up in datatracker.

We do not normally chase companies to update their IPR disclosures, as
documents progress, and indeed if we chase them to do this update we need
to chase them shortly for a further one as the draft becomes an RFC.

Since you pointed it out we have asked the author to ask his patent dept
to do the update, but I hope that this does not become an IETF policy
making it even harder to pass the IPR checks that we put in place in RTG.

Thanks

Stewart
