‘Some Issues’ Await Resolution Before MPEG LA Can Bow ATSC 3.0 Patent Pool

With ATSC 3.0 destined for the first consumer product introductions in 2020, “there are still some issues to be resolved” before MPEG LA can launch a one-stop-license 3.0 patent pool, emailed spokesperson Tom O’Reilly Tuesday. He gave no timeline for the program's debut. MPEG LA began developing the 3.0 pool more than two years ago with a formal call for essential patents. Several delays hampered the program’s debut, which previously was targeted for early 2019 (see 1903110030).
