alt Hacker NewsHow is AV2 expected to avoid the patent-pool issues AV1 ran into?
AV1 was designed as royalty-free, but Sisvel’s pool and the recent Dolby/Snap proved the contrary.

How does that prove anything?
They're claiming that there are patents, but that doesn't mean there are.

No codec can ever avoid patent-pool claims.

Every single AV2 news here in the last week has seen exactly the same question.
Either go back read the answers there first, or I will assume you are part of a FUD campaign (yes, I know HN guidelines, but again every single AV2 news in the last week has seen the same rhetorical "questions" as top "comments").
They filed a suit, henceforth making a claim of an issue...... They haven't "proved" anything other then they have lawyers on staff that can file some paperwork until the suit is settled in court...
