They've done the same thing with AV1, and I can't see that having prevented adoption, nor can I imagine Sisvel wanting to poke the bear that is AOMedia unless they're certain their case is absolutely watertight.

This is a thinly veiled extortion racket and any competent system would fine them into bankruptcy.

Sisvel is a patent troll. Take a look at the combined list of all companies that are the AOM and tell me with a straight face that all of their corporate in house counsel specializing in intellectual property law are wrong.

Trolls will always be trolls. The need to fight them just shows the need to reform the garbage patent system to make sure no one can ever patent software.

You can tell Sisvel are a bunch of grifters by the fact they use slight grey text on a slightly less grey background.

Aesthetics over function; style over substance. If that's their web design policy it's likely their policy in all other aspects.

I'm also not sure that they're aware that intellectual property rights no longer exist in the US. If AV2 was vibe coded, there would be no case.
