alt Hacker NewsIt's so weird to look at the patents list for H.264 and see multiple patents granted after the H.264 specification was released. Was the situation similar for MPEG-4?

Those patents may not necessarily be required to encode or decode, if they're just a new way to implement some part of the specification.
The patent pool system is really bad. There's no incentive to weed out bad patents.
