JPEG XS POOL
About the Pool
With the assistance of UK-based Vectis IP, German-based research institute Fraunhofer IIS and Belgian-based technology provider intoPIX, the main holders of patents essential to the ISO/IEC 21122 (JPEG XS) Standard, have created and made available a JPEG XS Patent Pool.
The goal of the JPEG XS Patent Pool, administered by Vectis IP, is to offer manufacturers, developers, and implementers a route to efficiently license JPEG XS standard-essential patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. This will allow licensees to have the freedom to use the new lightweight low latency JPEG XS codec under license to the pool’s patents.
Through a suitable royalty structure, the JPEG XS Patent Pool will foster the use of JPEG XS technology across different business models and use cases.
