If it is recognised, you have the rather interesting situation of RSA
"exporting" patents, the code for which would violate EAR/ITAR. This
obviously poses problems in terms of BSAFE, RSAREF etc, but where the
patent concept is implimented outside of the USA by a third party (e.g
by Eric) it would seem to me that the patent would apply. Has anyone
had any experience with RSA putting "conditions" on it's patent
licesning agreements inorder to enforce EAR/ITAR i.e the way it
attempts to with it's BSAFE/RSAREF copyrights?
Cheers,
Julian.
