List members may find interesting the case of Symbol V Proxim   where a
court found that  a blanket offer to license IPR essential to a standard
substituted for a duty to  disclose specific  IPR during the standards
setting.  The court found that what is "right and wrong"  greatly depends
upon the rules of the standards organization .  See more at
http://www.gtwassociates.com/answers/SYMBOLvPROXIM.htm

Yes that case is interesting, so I asked Dave Ringle of IEEE about blanket
statements, and his answer was that they only accept statements for a
specific standard.
