I have already filed numerous instances of claims in the IPR Area
Richard for GEOPRIOV and Location Based Services - considering I
invented specifically them 13 years ago.

By the way - I have a new control protocol for SMART MUNITIONS including
those which are used in some of the Ballistic Sensor Fused Munitions (of
which GPS Guided devices are just one instance).

There is NO contractual practice the IETF can require of someone who is
not formally a member of the IETF with regard to these filings. In fact
the ONLY people the term MUST can possibly pertain to are
1) Parties submitting data to the IETF for republication; or
2) Members of the IETF who are contractually tied to NoteWell and the
other IPR rules.

So... anytime you want to force those words of yours into stone and we
can address the issues of #1 or #2 then fine. The idea that after an
initial disclosure of the existence of IPR pertaining to a specific
subject constitutes a fraud on the IETF's part in

A) Requiring permanent diligence to meet the demand term MUST per your
analysis

B) Having permanent legal staff also on call to address these issues
and to manage the incompetence of the IETF and its members.


By the way the failure of the IETF representative of any entity to
convey legal notices to their own legal department is also a key issue
since most technology companies still hide from what their engineers do
here.
