Access Advance LLC (“Advance”) today announced the results of several significant decisions by the Licensors in both the HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Patent Pools. Both patent pools opted to maintain their current royalty rates and caps for Licensees who sign before December 31, 2025, and to extend an incentive that aligns the royalty caps for Advance’s Multi-Codec Bridging Agreement (“MCBA”) and the VVC Advance Patent Pool for Licensees who sign the MCBA during the same period. The result is that Licensees who join the HEVC Advance program, gaining access to more than 27,000 patents, on or before December 31, 2025, can lock in current rates and caps through 2030. This protection applies both to ongoing royalty obligations and calculation of royalties due for past sales. Additionally, both current and new HEVC Advance Licensees who join the VVC Advance Patent Pool and execute the MCBA by December 31, 2025, will enjoy MCBA royalty caps that match the royalty caps for the VVC Advance pro
