Received: 26 May 2006
From: Dan Lang <standards-ipr@cisco.com>



Cisco is the owner of US Patent Nos. 7031328 and 6865184 relating 
to the subject matter of "IPv4 Traversal for MIPv6 based Mobile 
Routers" <draft-thubert-nemo-ipv4-traversal-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; 
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.
