Cisco's Statement about IPR claimed in draft-andreasen-mmusic-sdp-capability-negotiation-01.txt
Date: 8 November 2006
From: Dan Lang <[email protected]>

Cisco is the owner of one or more pending unpublished patent applications relating to the
subject matter of "SDP Capability Negotiation" <draft-andreasen-mmusic-sdp-capability-negotiation-01.txt>.

If technology in this document is included in a standard adopted by IETF and any claims of
any Cisco patents are necessary for practicing the standard, any party will have the right
to use any such patent claims under reasonable, non-discriminatory terms, with reciprocity,
to implement and fully comply with the standard.

The reasonable non-discriminatory terms are:

If this standard is adopted, Cisco will not assert any patents owned or controlled by
Cisco against any party for making, using, selling, importing or offering for sale a
product that implements the standard, provided, however that Cisco retains the right
to assert its patents (including the right to claim past royalties) against any party
that asserts a patent it owns or controls (either directly or indirectly) against
Cisco or any of Cisco's affiliates or successors in title or against any products of
Cisco or any products of any of Cisco's affiliates either alone or in combination with
other product. Cisco retains the right to assert its patents against any product or
portion thereof that is not necessary for compliance with the standard.

Royalty-bearing licenses will be available to anyone who prefers that option.
