Dolby HEVC patent challenged in the EPO

On July 5, 2022, Unified filed an opposition proceeding against EP 3694209 B1, currently owned by Dolby International AB. EP ‘209 generally relates to video coding techniques that use data hiding to decrease bandwidth. The patent is related to others that have been designated essential to the Access Advance (HEVC) pool. EP ’209 has also been identified as potentially essential to the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard. This filing is a part of Unified’s ongoing efforts in its SEP Video Codec Zone.

Unified is represented by Dr. Andrew McGettrick at HGF Law, and by in-house counsel, Jessica L.A. Marks and Ellyar Barazesh.
