However, I want to call attention to the latest IPR declaration [1] which seems to have resulted in a very, very, very late claim against this document *and* rfc6006. Not only was the declaration done recently, but I don't think the WG was explicitly made aware of it. I did look at the archive and this is what I found: - WG Chair asked the authors to update the system to reflect that the IPR claimed against rfc6006 also applies to this document [2] - a new IPR statement [1] was filed, which updated the previous one [3] The problem is that the most recent statement [1] points to a patent ("US 12/404100") which is different from the one in the original statement [3] ("US 12/708048"). I take this update to mean that there is more IP than originally claimed -- resulting in a very, very, very late statement. Note that it came in after the WGLC concluded and just a couple of days before the document was submitted to the IESG for Publication. I'll let the WG chairs and the responsible AD take appropriate actions.
