This is the first time I have heard of this. My question to OASIS would be: How did this get here? I don't recall this company being associated with this OASIS TC, let alone contributing anything that could be claimed to be ipr essential to CAP. I wonder if this is somehow connected to CAP before it was brought under OASIS? A cursory glance at their website indicates that their technology is "wireless" specific and CAP is transport independent.

The OASIS IPR Policy [1] states that anyone can make claims on OASIS specs.             

This entry seems to be added  on 19 May 2006.   Perhaps the TC should have been formally notified?

The IPR Policy also says:

"Any disclosure of Disclosed Claims shall include (a) in the case of issued patents and published patent applications, the patent or patent application publication number, the associated country and, as reasonably practicable, the relevant portions of the applicable draft or approved OASIS Committee Specification or OASIS Standard; and (b) in the case of unpublished patent applications, the existence of the unpublished application and, as reasonably practicable, the relevant portions of the applicable draft or approved OASIS Committee Specification or OASIS Standard."

It seems this was not followed in this case. It would be good if the claimant made the effort, so we don't have to trawl through patents.
