Re: CoreStreet IPR disclosure

Dave:

I am confused by the IPR disclosure.  SCVP includes two major
feature sets: DPD and DPV.  A quick skim of the patents indicate
that they are related to DPV.  (I am not a lawyer, and I am not
trying to play one here.)  If this is correct, then I am not sure
what CoreStreet is promising.
