I'm pretty sure that this IPR filing is mis-filed, since the referenced patent (6,327,629, "Stored procedure universal calling interface") is neither held by Mr. Glassey nor at all relevant to RFC 5222:

It would seem that he's referring to patent number 6,370,629 ("Controlling access to stored information based on geographical location and date and time"), which was indeed issued to Mr. Glassey and others in March 2002.

It's still not clear to me that this patent has any relevance to RFC 5222, but I appreciate Mr. Glassey making the disclosure.
