RE: IPR Disclosure: CNRS's Statement about IPR related to RFC 4768, RFC 2069, RFC 4169, and draft-ietf-httpbis-p7-auth-11

I noticed that too. As far as I can tell, the disclosure says that the IPR relates by way of being potential improvements to the protocols in the RFCs. That _is_ a kind of relationship, to be sure.

Without having searched for it., I'd note that ALL of the RFCs/drafts he references predate the cited filing date (March 14th, 2008).
