Non-partisan patent data for HEVC SEPs
The pandemic has highlighted the value of high-quality video
streaming, for both work and entertainment. This makes it vital to
understand the complex patent licensing landscape. Cipher helps
some of the world's leading innovators, patentees, implementers
and adopters improve their decision making and results by taking
advantage of the best data analytics.
The first version of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)
standard, also known as H.265, was approved in 2013. It succeeded
the Advanced Video Coding (AVC, or H.264) standard, and offers
significant improvements in resolution and efficiency.
While it took a while to be accepted, HEVC has now been adopted
in many devices where users need to maximise the video quality
while minimising bandwidth usage, such as smartphones, tablets,
televisions, games consoles, cameras and computers. And video
streaming (including high-resolution video) is essential for many
applications
