Cisco's Statement about IPR claimed in RFC 3488
Date: 30 July 2008
From: Rachel Albright

Cisco is the owner of US Patent Nos. 6,847,638 and 7,385,977 relating
to the subject matter of Request for Comments (RFC) 3488 "Cisco Systems
Router-port Group Management Protocol (RGMP)."

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.
