People get patents for all sorts of stupid nonsense. That doesn't mean
their patent stands up or is in any way enforceable, even in the
jurisdiction where the patent was granted. That's something for the
patent lawyers and the courts to decide.
Yes but that is for a Court of Law to decide not the IETF, so when we
get US Judges sitting inside the IETF you can make the claim that there
is jusicial oversight and that the IETF is properly moderated. Right now
there are no real controls to prevent the IETF from violating other's IP
Space even though the IETF and its parent orgs' claim their is.
That oversight is a gross lie in my opinion since it is regularly
ignored by all who dont want to be controlled by it IMHO.

There's no point debating this any further here. Please take this
childish "my patent's better than your internet draft" name-calling
somewhere else.
