On October 8, the IESG approved the registration of
application/3gpp-ims+xml Media Type. On Nov 2, RIM filed an IPR
disclosure related to this at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1219/
The associated patent, filed Oct 2008, is at
http://www.google.com/patents?id=Mk7GAAAAEBAJ
and the related draft is
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bakker-sipping-3gpp-ims-xml-body-handling
I will note John-Luc Bakker from RIM is an author of both the patent
and and the draft. The draft has been widely discussed at IETF with
no mention of IPR before this. As an IESG member, I was not aware of
this IPR at the time the approval was made and I do not believe any
other IESG members were aware of it.
I agree with this assessment. I was not aware of any related IPRs when I
sponsored this MIME type registration and I don't think other IESG
members knew either.
I do believe the discussion would have been different had the IESG
been aware of this IPR.
