Cisco's Statement about IPR claimed in draft-salowey-tls-rfc4507bis-01.txt
Date: 29 August 2007
From: Rachel Albright<ralbrigh@cisco.com>

Cisco is the owner of US published patent applications 20050154872 and 
20050154873 and one or more pending unpublished patent applications 
relating to the subject matter of "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session 
Resumption without Server Side State" <draft-salowey-tls-rfc4507bis-01.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.
