That doesn't mean that there weren't other objections, only that some people found the whole MARID exercise pointless and chose to spend their energies in ways that they found more productive. IPR concerns or no IPR concerns, MARID would never have gained community consensus. Like an opportunistic infection that deals the final blow to a terminally ill patient, IPR issues were not the cause of MARID's demise, but merely a symptom.
