Hello,
Could we have legal opinion regarding:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1718540#c4
According to
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Standard
this standard is patented:
AVS Patent Pool Management Committee
In the aspect of intellectual property management, AVS established a "Patent
Pool" management mechanism, with the management and authorization of the
patent pool in charge of “AVS Patent Pool Management Committee”, an
independent corporate association founded in September 20, 2004. The
committee is also the first "Patent Pool" management institution in China.
Relying on the independent corporate association “Beijing Haidian District
Digital Audio and Video Standard Promotion Center” registered in the Civil
Affairs Bureau of Haidian District of Beijing City, it set up one-stop,
low-cost patent authorization principles and management rules [4] for
patent technologies included in the standard, as the expert committee and
the main business decision-making institution of the promotion center. The
royalty for the first generation AVS standard is only charged one-yuan per
terminal, and the same mode will be adopted for the second generation, to
charge a small amount of royalty only for the terminal, excluding the
contents, as well as software services on the Internet.
Best regards,
Robert-André
