Notes/Caveats:
1. This was created by correlating this WSPP document (http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/a/28a250e5-5b79-4547-9959-346736ed7a97/WSPP_Patent_Mapping.pdf) and this MCPP document (http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/c/95c40a2a-b2a5-4417-b6ae-e77a695060aa/MCPP_Patent_Mapping.pdf) with the WSPP protocol
information found on MSDN (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197979.aspx). This correlation was done the week of April 14, 2008, so the documents I based this correlation may have been subsequently updated/changed.
2. The content for the Protocol and Description columns come directly from MSDN, so it is their content/verbage and they should get full credit for that, and I cut and pasted the patent #s etc from the two maps into the appropriate columns. I counted each item in MSDN as a protocol (ie if it had a name and description, I considered it a protocol), even
though a few of the documents were indicated to be a reference and a glossary.
3. I used my best estimate based on the WSPP map to determine what Task and Scenario each protocol applies to. The map has some protocols in multiple tasks/scenarios, hence I used a judgement call to determine the "primary" task/scenario, and tried to add to the comments column which on protocols are also applicable to other
tasks/scenarios.
4. Some of the protocols (MS-EMF, MS-PSDP, MS-WMF) have their patents listed in the MCPP map vs. the WSPP map. MCPP does not list EU patents or patent applications, so these 3 may have EU patents and applications that apply to them.
5. Some of the protocols (MS-BKUP, MS-FSCC, MS-TDS, MS-WSSO and MS-WSSFO) do not have patent information in either the MCPP or WSPP map.
6. See "Comments" field for additional commentary.
7. I did not dig into any of the actual protocol documentation, so I can’t comment if the actual protocol documentation matches the content in note #1 above.
8. If you have any comments about protocols, etc. you can post a question to the protocol forum on MSDN http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2056&SiteID=1
