Alexandre, you have already received a bunch of comments but in short 1/ an IETF IPR declaration needs to refer to an IETF contribution (e.g., an ID or RFC) 2/ the IETF does not forbid any use of IPR disclosures made to the IETF - so giving ETSI a URL pointing to the IETF disclosure is fine by the IETF 3/ but ETSI will likely want to know how the disc sure relates to work being done in ETSI so such a pointer may not be all that useful to them Scott > On Nov 7, 2019, at 7:04 AM, Alexandre Petrescu <alexandre.petrescu@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, IETFers, > > I would like to ask whether it is allowed to make an IPR declaration on > the IETF site, but dedicated for use mainly on another SDO? > > I am in a delicate situation: I am a co-author on a patent application > that I value.
