IV. Disclosure of Patent Information
i.e., patents or patent applications required to be disclosed by RFC 3979 as updated by RFC 4879

A. For granted patents or published pending patent applications, please provide the following information:

Patent, Serial, Publication, Registration, or Application/File number(s)

No idea. See http://www.microsoft.com/openspecifications/en/us/programs/osp/security/default.aspx and https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/434/
Date: 2006

Note that the form insisted I fill in the above; I have no idea whether any of it is right. Please see the links for the information I have.

I think Microsoft registered their IPR against MARID forms of the I-Ds, and the ones that were published were not those.

Has patent pending No
