Hey Tim, I don't know because our legal counsel has suggested that no one from our organization read the asserted patents or PAG deliberation until they come back to us with a suggestion. If we do, we could open ourselves up to a treble damages lawsuit among other things. This is why we don't discuss patents in any of the CG/IG/WGs. Yes, the patent system is broken, but even looking at that material could unnecessarily open us up to very nasty legal implications. -- manu
