7.3.2024 15:01:28 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Access Advance (“Advance”) today announced that Vestel Elektronik Sanayi Ticaret A.S. (“Vestel”) has joined the HEVC Advance HEVC/H.265 Patent Pool as a Licensee. This ends several years of litigation in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK between Vestel and Advance and several HEVC Advance Licensors.
“We are pleased to welcome Vestel as a valued Licensee in the HEVC Advance Patent Pool,” stated Pete Moller, Access Advance CEO. “This once again provides confirmation that the HEVC Advance Patent Pool’s rates, pool structure, and terms, including our Duplicate Royalty Policy, are FRAND. We expect Vestel becoming a valued Licensee will further encourage others who practice the HEVC/H.265 standard while remaining unlicensed to join the HEVC Advance Patent Pool, so they can similarly benefit from its broad and deep patent coverage and FRAND terms.”
