The following statement was received on Friday, November 20

From: Simon Carter <[email protected]>
BT would like to point out that aspects of its proposal for "Bounded-delay
service", submitted in a draft to the diff-serv WG, are subject to a patent
application. BT does this in the belief that this patent application is
relevant to present discussions within the IETF.
