PATENT LICENSE UNDERTAKING

In the SEND Working Group in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the proposal "draft-ietf-send-ipsec-00.txt" (http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-send-ipsec-00.txt) dated February 2003 has been made by Jari Arkko at Ericsson Research as well as co-authors from DoCoMo, Microsoft and SUN Microsystems. In the following, said submission and any future revision of said submission is referred to as "the CGA submission".

Ericsson's general patent license statement (http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/ERICSSON-General) also applies to the CGA submission.

In addition, for the CGA submission, if said submission is included in the IETF SEND standard and Ericsson has patents that are essential to the implementation of such included submission in said standard, Ericsson shall not assert any such patent against any company or legal entity using said patents in the IETF SEND standard. The Ericsson non-assertion is conditional upon such company or legal entity not asserting any patents within the IETF SEND standard against Ericsson. 

For all other purposes Ericsson's general patent license statement as referred to above, shall apply.
