from RFC 8179 "If an individual's Participation relates to a written Contribution made by somebody else that is intended to be used as an input into the IETF Standards Process, and such Participant reasonably and personally knows of IPR meeting the conditions of Section 5.6 which the Participant believes Covers or may ultimately Cover that Contribution, or which the Participant reasonably and personally knows his or her employer or sponsor may assert against Implementing Technologies based on such written Contribution, then such Participant must make a disclosure in accordance with Section 5." i.e., certain knowledge of impact is not required ( "MAY ultimately Cover") Scott > On Jul 19, 2022, at 1:34 AM, Carsten Bormann <cabo@tzi.org> wrote: > > On 19.

Nobody understands what is said until a court makes determinations about that. The inventor is not that court. Worse, interpretations of patent holders (≠ inventor!) what their patents mean definitely do change over time, and it is the patent holder that exposes you to litigation risk; it may be utterly irrelevant whether the patent holder ultimately wins in court. > > Impossible in general does not mean impossible in each specific case, so it is good to have rules that react to that possibility. > It is also important to remember that the patent process is not subject to the same kind of logic that we were taught as engineers. > > Grüße, Carsten > > _______________________________________________ > Ipr-wg mailing list > Ipr-wg@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipr-wg
