MPEG LA, LLC is a firm based in Denver, Colorado that licenses patent pools covering essential patents required〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Revolutionizing Intellectual Property Rights Management )〕 for use of the MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Visual (Part 2), IEEE 1394, VC-1, ATSC, MVC, MPEG-2 Systems, AVC/H.264 and HEVC standards. MPEG LA is not affiliated with MPEG, the Moving Picture Experts Group. ==History== MPEG LA started operations in July 1997 immediately after receiving a Department of Justice Business Review Letter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MPEG LA Business Review Letter )〕 During formation of the MPEG-2 standard, a working group of companies that participated in the formation of the MPEG-2 standard recognized that the biggest challenge to adoption was efficient access to essential patents owned by many patent owners. That ultimately led to a group of eight MPEG-2 patent owners -- Fujitsu, Panasonic, Sony, Mitsubishi, Scientific Atlanta, Columbia University, Philips and General Instrument—along with CableLabs and certain individuals, to form MPEG LA, which in turn created the first modern-day patent pool as a solution. In June 2012, MPEG LA announced a call for patents essential to the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. In September 2012, MPEG LA launched Librassay®, which makes diagnostic patent rights from some of the world's leading research institutions available to everyone through a single license. Organizations which have included patents in Librassay® include Johns Hopkins University; Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research; Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; National Institutes of Health (NIH); Partners HealthCare; The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University; The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania; The University of California, San Francisco; and Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). On September 29, 2014, the MPEG LA announced their HEVC license which covers the patents from 23 companies. The license is US$0.20 per HEVC product after the first 100,000 units each year with an annual cap. The license has been expanded to include the profiles in version 2 of the HEVC standard. On March 5, 2015, the MPEG LA announced their DisplayPort license which is US$0.20 per DisplayPort product. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MPEG LA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
