The current IPR WG I-Ds are:

Intellectual Property Rights (ipr)
----------------------------------

  "Guidelines for Working Groups on Intellectual Property Issues", Scott
  Brim, 11-Jun-03, <draft-ietf-ipr-wg-guidelines-05.txt>

  "Intellectual Property Rights in IETF Technology", Scott Bradner,
  19-Jun-03, <draft-ietf-ipr-technology-rights-10.txt>

  "IETF Rights in Contributions", Scott Bradner, 12-Jun-03,
  <draft-ietf-ipr-submission-rights-06.txt>

  "A Template for IETF Patent Disclosures and Licensing Declarations",
  Valerie See, 17-Jun-03, <draft-ietf-ipr-template-05.txt>

All of the above are available at the IETF I-Ds repository:

    ftp://ftp/ietf.org/internet-drafts/

Recommended reading for those concerned about IPR and the (work-in-
progress) PWG Process/2.0.
