MPEG LA Issues Call for Patents Essential to MPEG DASH Standards

MPEG LA issued a call for patents essential to the MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) standards Tuesday. DASH, used in content delivery platforms, adaptively streams audio and video content enabling continuous viewing without freezing or stuttering. With adoption of DASH technology standards increasing, the market would benefit from the “nondiscriminatory, nonexclusive worldwide one-stop patent pool license,” said MPEG LA CEO Larry Horn. Interested parties are invited to submit patents by Sept. 9.
