Submitter:  Rachel Albright<ralbrigh@cisco.com>


Cisco is the owner of US Patent Application Serial No. 12/383,366 relating to the subject matter of 
"Operating MPLS Transport Profile LSP in Loopback Mode" <draft-boutros-mpls-tp-loopback-03.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.
