[P1619-2] Non-awareness patent statement made by UC Davis



Hi All,

Today, IEEE posted a patent Letter-Of-Assurance received from the University of California in Davis stating that they were unaware of any patents that might be necessary for P1619.2.  See this link:

As you may recall, there was some discussion about a patent that Rogaway had filed on behalf of the University of California for EME.  The last I heard, Rogaway had convinced the UC to freely license the EME patent.  However, this letter states that the UC has no such patent.

This should be a discussion topic for the next P1619.2 meeting (did UC ever file the EME patent?).
