Luckily, it seems like the industry is coming along with AV1. I'm not aware of any major companies opposed to AV1.

There's going to be a lag time before enough HW is being used that fully supports it but it'll happen eventually.




Sisvel isn't directly named in this statement but it's clearly targeted at them: http://aomedia.org/press%20releases/the-alliance-for-open-me...

I trust the AOM will handle this the moment Sisvel actually attempts to file suit. If their patents are as solid as they're claiming, they probably would have sued someone like Netflix for using AV1 already. IIRC, Sisvel did this for both VP8 and VP9 and it didn't end up going anywhere.


AOMedia claims that's not valid, and will defend you against potential claims: http://aomedia.org/press%20releases/the-alliance-for-open-me...
