You can't have the cake and eat it too. An open discussion seems
impossible if one of the participants will then go around and try to
patent ideas that originated out of such open unfinished discussion.
It's a basic characteristic of the patent regime that an inventive idea
that is disclosed can not later be appropriated by someone as an
invention of his own.
So, the above "one of the participant" would be a bad faith patent
applicant. You and I are not aware of such behavior, are we?
You
are forcing discussions to happen in private, to be presented to the IETF
"as is", so that no IPR claims can be made based on freely shared ideas
on the IETF lists.
I respectfully disagree: I am not forcing anything. There is no
different status, with respect to the effect of a disclosure in the
patent regime, between an idea disclosed in the course of discussion and
the end result of discussion.
What do you want? Colaborating on internet standards, or building
proprietary software algorithms by yourself? You can only pick one.
In the present instance, see

and

.
A general discussion is out of topic.
