VIII. Other Notes

Additional notes

The Patent Holder thinks PCT/SE2009/050627 as filed and as published does not cover draft-ietf-mpls-tp-fault-03.
Presently the Patent Holder thinks it is very arguable if it is possible that any patent based on PCT/SE2009/050627 might ultimately cover any RFC or later document along the IETF standards track based on draft-ietf-mpls-tp-fault-03. Still, this IPR disclosure is made now that the PCT/SE2009/050627 has recently been published to safeguard transparency and availability of RF licenses to such patent according to option b) above, to all implementers in case an RFC or later document along the IETF standards track, based on draft-ietf-mpls-tp-fault-03 or based on any other now existing draft relating to mlps tp, would be covered by a patent based on PCT/SE2009/050627.
