Submitter: Rachel Albright<[email protected]>

Cisco is the owner of US Published Patent Application 20100238812 relating to the subject matter of
"MPLS Transport Profile Lock Instruct and Loopback Functions" <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-li-lb-00.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 products; and 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.
