Hi,

Three things:

1) Whether the patent would survive a check into prior art is not
something the IETF takes a position on:

Intellectual Property

   The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
   Intellectual Property Rights or other rights that might be claimed
to
   pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in
   this document or the extent to which any license under such rights
   might or might not be available; nor does it represent that it has
   made any independent effort to identify any such rights.
Information
   on the procedures with respect to rights in RFC documents can be
   found in BCP 78 and BCP 79.

   Copies of IPR disclosures made to the IETF Secretariat and any
   assurances of licenses to be made available, or the result of an
   attempt made to obtain a general license or permission for the use
of
   such proprietary rights by implementers or users of this
   specification can be obtained from the IETF on-line IPR repository
at
   http://www.ietf.org/ipr.

   The IETF invites any interested party to bring to its attention any
   copyrights, patents or patent applications, or other proprietary
   rights that may cover technology that may be required to implement
   this standard.  Please address the information to the IETF at
   ietf-ipr at ietf.org.

2) The company has filed a disclosure. You should read the disclosure
before losing your cool. 
  The disclosure says (roughly) it will license the technology
royalty-free for standards use.

  The disclosure can be found at
  https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/ipr_detail_show.cgi?&ipr_id=717.

3) Since I work for the company filing the disclosure, I will recuse
myself from chairing this discussion. I have asked Chris to chair the
discussion.
