Access Advance today posted the initial patent list for its VVC Advance Patent Pool (https://accessadvance.com/vvc-advance-patent-list/). The initial patent list includes over 700 VVC standard essential patents (SEPs) issued in sixty-one countries that were independently determined to be essential to the VVC/H.266 Standard. With thirty-three VVC Advance Licensors currently, the size of the VVC Advance patent list is expected to grow substantially as additional VVC SEPs issue and are evaluated, and as additional Licensors join the VVC Advance Patent Pool. As with the HEVC Advance Patent Pool, the VVC Advance Patent Portfolio License (“PPL”) includes all VVC SEPs, current and future, that the program’s Licensors have the right to license, regardless of whether the patents are specifically included in the patent list. This assures that compliant Licensees are licensed to all VVC Advance Licensors’ VVC SEP claims under the terms of the PPL when a patent with VVC essential claims issues, even if a Licensor is unaware of essential patent claims or such claims have yet to be evaluated.
“We commend the inventiveness of our licensors and the efforts they have shown in having their patents evaluated for VVC essentiality,” stated Access Advance CEO, Pete Moller. “The results so far have surpassed our expectations in the size and scope that the VVC Advance patent portfolio would have at this early point in the program. With this strong start we are confident that the VVC Advance Patent Pool is the marketplace’s best option to consolidate the VVC patent landscape into a single pool moving forward. This consolidation will provide greater licensing certainty and lower royalties and administrative costs to the entire marketplace, while accelerating VVC adoption and providing users with a seamless and enhanced video experience.”

BlueSnap, Powered by Payroc, Launches Local Acquiring in New Zealand to Boost Approval Rates and Reduce Cross-Border Costs28.4.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
BlueSnap, powered by Payroc, today announced the availability of local acquiring in New Zealand, expanding its global payment orchestration capabilities and enabling businesses to process transactions domestically. Local acquiring allows businesses with a legal entity in New Zealand to process payments through domestic acquiring banks rather than routing transactions cross-border. This helps increase authorization rates, reduce payment failures, and lower transaction costs, critical factors for businesses selling into the region. Why Local Acquiring in New Zealand Matters For B2B and B2C businesses operating globally, cross-border payments often lead to higher fees and lower approval rates.
