MPEG LA's MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License provides access to
essential patent rights for the MPEG-4 (Part 2) Visual patents standard
used in media player and other personal computer software, mobile
devices including telephones, DVD players and recorder accessories such
as DivX®, game machines, personal media player devices, security and
surveillance systems equipment, still and video cameras, subscription
and pay-per view or title video mobile and internet services and other
products. To align with the real-world flow of MPEG-4 Visual commerce,
reasonable royalties are apportioned throughout the MPEG-4 Visual value
chain. The License employs annual limitations to provide cost
predictability, threshold levels below which certain royalties will not
be charged in order to encourage early-stage adopters and minimize the
impact on lower volume users or demo products, and licensing options
that require no royalty reports.
