Oh man. I hope Dolby looses. Patents are way too long and benefit so few that I think they shouldn’t be justified/exist in society. Also some stuff should be decided in court to be essential technology and patents/claims should then be dissolved.

I believe the error was in the AV1 license NOT having a “if you enforce patent-license-fees on this codec, THEN you can’t use this codec” type of coercion… ( I may have got the logic wrong, but there’s some kind of license that works that way, which other open codecs have used, apparently ) Just ignoring that predators exist … provides NO protection from them. You have to make your license-agreement break abusers, … or you’re just helping them. _ /\ _
