cdanteek Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 AT&T possesses several patents related to video compression, which the company says are an essential component of the MPEG-4 video technology. In a bid to drive its global licensing program, AT&T has targeted Apple Computer, Inc., CyberLink Corp., DivX, Inc., InterVideo, Inc., and Sonic Solutions as unlicensed companies whose products and software utilize the MPEG-4 technology. Representatives from the companies named in AT&T's letter, including Apple, said they weren't aware of any notification from AT&T about possible infringement of its patents. "We believe that we have all necessary rights and licenses with respect to all of our products," a spokesman for Sonic Solutions replied. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1923218,00.asp http://www.macobserver.com/article/2006/02/10.6.shtml http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060210-6154.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
