Title: Cisco System's Statement About IPR Claimed in draft-ietf-avt-rtp-svc-21.txt
Date: 2010-07-22

Cisco is the owner of US Patent Application Serial No. 12836781 relating to the subject 
matter of "RTP Payload Format for SVC Video" <draft-ietf-avt-rtp-svc-21.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.
