    Dan - the IPR notice is a statement of the ownership of the IP

It is a bad practice to use the term "intellectual property" to talk
about anything, because that term is harmfully broad.  No matter which
law is the real topic, confusing it with other laws is not good.

These issues concern patents and only patents.  (Copyrights and
trademarks could not raise issues like these.)  So we can avoid
spreading confusion by speaking of "notices about patents" and
"ownership of the patents", and avoiding the term "IP".

It's easy to do, so how about it?
