What this thread is actually about is a violation of IETF process 
(BCP) or IETF policy (Failure to comply with patent disclosure 
requirements is a violation of IETF policy, and the potential legal 
consequences to companies are considerable).

For context:

   "Qian Sun is apparently no longer an active IETF participant, and his
    co-workers who are active IETF participants asked their company to
    disclose against the two documents as soon as they discovered what
    had happened. That's where were are now."
