Ben,

As you know, our IPR policy set up new elements as Essential Claims to
avoid confusion - namely, the options under a selection of items represent
Essential Claims, a more restrictive definition than under previous
versions of the IPR. Were these already Essential Claims, we would not have
need to form a PAG to encompass them. Given that such exclusion notices
cover Essential Claims, that seems a tenuous argument, at best (see Section
4.3 of the old IPR policy). But this highlights why it will remain a matter
of concern if there was an action brought.
