  1. Re:MPEG LA patents running out by Animats · · Score: 2 · on Firefox Gains Support for VP9 Video Codec

    could you please provide a reference or two to support it?

    Here's a list compiled in 2011.. The last of the "orginal 27" patents expires on March 28, 2014. MPEG-LA has later patents, but maybe you don't need the technology they cover, or can attack those patents.

  5. Re:When does MPEG1 become free and clear? by jrincayc · · Score: 1 · on Steve Jobs Hints At Theora Lawsuit

    I agree that the removal of ppmtompeg is rather like reading tea leaves. My personal reading is that they think that there might be some legal issues, but that they are not sure enough to be specific.

    I saw the ISO statement as well and right now it sounds like they are trying to start a discussion on the possibility. For the Layer 2 audio the major part that I had not found prior art for was the synthesis window.
