Cisco is the owner of US Patent Nos. 7,319,674, 7,298,707 and 7,515,551 and US Published
Patent Applications 20070019647, 20080043635 and 20080095169 relating to the subject matter
of "Extensions to OSPF to Support Mobile Ad Hoc Networking" <draft-ietf-ospf-manet-or-02.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.
