The IETF appears to permit patent disclosures to be removed at the request of submitters. Search for 'remove' on the list if disclosures. Is this intentional? Is there anything in our procedures that explains why this is a useful thing? Does our procedures even permit removals? It can be useful to review earlier patent disclosures from a company, since they often contains text that is revised in later versions. Seeing how text evolves often gives some understanding of the reasons for the change. /Simon _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
