Somehow that sounds unconvincing to me.  While I've never been through
the patent application process myself, from what I've heard, it is
non-trivial and usually taken care of by the company's legal department.

Normally, patent lawyers of a company's legal department should have
sufficient clue about participation in SDOs that they should know
to ask employees the right questions.
