I have no information to contradict that claim. Somehow that sounds unconvincing to me. While I've never been through the patent application process myself, from what I've heard, it is non-trivial and usually taken care of by the company's legal department. Normally, patent lawyers of a company's legal department should have sufficient clue about participation in SDOs that they should know to ask employees the right questions. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
