Thank you for your message.
It will be published on the IETF IPR statements web page.
We have some trouble parsing it, however, since:
- there is no attached document with more than 87 pages
- the URL referred to does not point to a conformant HTTP page
- discussion of technology does not in general require a license;
the IETF as such does not implement technology.
If you desire comments from the IETF community on the patent claim, =
pointing
to or enclosing a single document might be a more useful way of sending it.
Harald Alvestrand, speaking in the IETF officer role
