Title: Apple Computer's Statement about IPR claimed in RFC 2131
Received: June 12, 2004
From: Edward W. Scott, IV

While Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") has not undertaken an exhaustive search
and analysis of its patent portfolio (the "Apple Patents"), it believes that
U.S. Patent Numbers 4,661,902 and 4,689,786 may be necessary for an
implementation of material contained in http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt (the
"Document").

In the event that the technology discussed in the Document becomes and IETF
standard (the "Standard") which is not materially different from the Document,
Apple agrees, upon written request from a Party, to negotiate outside of IETF
to make available a non-exclusive license under reasonable and non-discriminatory
("RAND") terms and conditions under such claims of the Apple Patents to the
extent necessary to implement a product compliant with the Standard.  These RAND
terms and conditiond may be conditional upon a reciprocal grant or defensive use.
