Lucent: EKE patents (II)
This morning (Feb. 7), a Lucent employee speaking on behalf of Lucent told me that:
- Lucent will not proceed with research on the EKE patents.
- Lucent will not take a public position on whether the EKE patents apply to SRP.
- Lucent takes the position that SRP implementers are responsible for their own technical and legal analysis.
- Lucent will license the EKE patents under normal Lucent licensing practices.
Caveat: This is based on my understanding of the (oral) conversation.
