Denver, United States, Tuesday, December 09, 2008 -- (Business Wire India) --
MPEG LA, LLC announced that Amino Communications Limited has
entered into the MPEG-2 Patent Portfolio License offered by MPEG LA. As
a result of this agreement, several companies that license their
essential MPEG-2 patents through MPEG LA will withdraw patent
enforcement actions pending before the District Court Düsseldorf,
Germany and the Chancery Division Patents Court, Royal Courts of
Justice, London.
MPEG LA, LLC
MPEG LA is the world leader in alternative technology licenses, enabling
users to acquire worldwide patent rights necessary for a technology
standard or platform from multiple patent holders in a single
transaction as an alternative to negotiating separate licenses. Wherever
an independently administered one-stop patent license would provide a
convenient marketplace alternative to assist users with implementation
of their technology choices, the licensing model pioneered and employed
by MPEG LA may provide a solution. Among MPEG LA’s licenses is one for
MPEG-2 digital video compression that has helped produce the most widely
employed standard in consumer electronics history. The MPEG-2 Patent
Portfolio License, which includes more than 870 MPEG-2 essential patents
in 57 countries, has more than 1400 licensees accounting for most MPEG-2
products including set-top boxes, DVD players, digital television sets,
personal computers and DVD Video Discs in the current world market. MPEG
LA is an independent licensing administrator; it is not related to any
standards agency and is not an affiliate of any patent holder. For more
