Please also see US patent 20090204681 visible at http://ip.com/patapp/US20090204681 In my opinion, this second last call should be suspended until this significant breach of the IETF's IPR policy set out in BCP79 has been resolved. While it is important to find out what the IETF community's view of this situation is, there are two questions: 1. What does the WG think about the I-D being IPR encumbered and do they want to develop an alternate solution that is not encumbered? 2. How will the IETF handle the breach of IPR policy? I believe the document should be returned to the working group who are the main victims of the disruptive behaviour by the author.

August 21, 2007: Huawei files a patent (CN 200710076523.4) on using SIP for SIEVE notifications. The inventor is listed as a single Huawei employee. 2. August 30, 2007: That same Huawei employee and two additional authors publish an IETF draft ( draft-melnikov-sieve-notify-sip-message-00) on using SIP for SIEVE notifications. 3. September 2007 - September 2011: The SIEVE working group discusses and improves the IETF draft. 4. October 6, 2011: The IESG approves the IETF draft for publication as an RFC. 5. December 14th, 2011: Huawei files an IPR disclosure with the IETF informing it of patent CN 200710076523.4
Is that correct? Am I leaving anything out? /a On 1/25/12 2:17 PM, The IESG wrote: The IESG has received a request from the Sieve Mail Filtering Language WG (sieve) to consider the following document: - 'Sieve Notification Mechanism: SIP MESSAGE' <draft-ietf-sieve-notify-sip-message-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard Last calls were earlier issued on version -05 of this document and this document was approved by the IESG on 2011-10-06. Subsequently, an IPR disclosure statement for this draft was submitted. This Second Last Call is intended to determine whether the community is still comfortable with publication of this document in light of the IPR statement. The relevant IPR statement is available at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1658/ The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action.
