It is not yet issued -- still in the application stage.

Details on what exactly is claimed in the application have not been
forthcoming.   Instead the MARID working group has been informed that it
applies to two sub-parts of the proposed standard, operating in
conjunction, and licenses will be required -- assuming the patent is
granted as applied for -- in order to implement the standard.
