It's probably a good idea to keep the patent politics out of the IETF, but if technical information flowing from the IETF to the US patent office can reduce certain harmful effects to the IETF process, then it would be a bad idea to forego this because the focus may get unclear. I'm also unsure where the necessary level of competence can be found outside the IETF. It seems to me that simply uploading all drafts into the prior art database wouldn't be a bad idea. (We now upgrade the DoS to DDoS.) And if that's unfeasible, keeping those drafts around so that people who are looking for prior art outside the patent databases can find them would be a good start. (It could be argued that RFCs are the relevant documents here, but since drafts exist long before RFCs of the same content, drafts are better in this regard.) _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
