Title: Juniper's Statement of IPR related to RFC 4379
Date: June 16, 2009
Submitter: Heidi Woods<heidio@juniper.net

Juniper is the owner of US Patent No. 7,336,615 (and any foreign counterparts) relating to the subject matter 
of "Detecting Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) Data Plane Failures" <RFC 4379>.

If technology in this document is included in a standard adopted by IETF and any claims of any Juniper 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, Juniper will not assert any patents owned or controlled by Juniper against any party for 
making, using, selling, importing or offering for sale a product that implements the standard, provided, however that 
Juniper 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 Juniper or any of Juniper's affiliates or successors
in title or against any products of Juniper or any products of any of Juniper's affiliates either alone or in combination 
with other products; and Juniper 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.
