Submitter: Rachel Albright<ralbrigh@cisco.com>


Cisco is the owner of Published Patent Applications 20060187819 and 20090207728 and US Patent Application Serial No. 11/393,166
relating to the subject matter of "IPFRR in the Presence of Multiple Failures" <draft-bryant-shand-ipfrr-multi-01>.

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