No patent grant with MPEG4IPNo patent grant with MPEG4IPPosted Aug 11, 2003 6:36 UTC (Mon) by robla (subscriber, #424)In reply to: RealNetworks asks for hand outs by busterb Parent article: RealNetworks launches Helix Player project You'll notice that MPEG4IP does not grant any patent rights. There's a reason for that...they can't. Cisco (the sponsor behind MPEG4IP) doesn't have the patent rights to do that. Distributing software for which all of the intellectual property is yours to give is very difficult. A big reason why we don't distribute the source code for RealAudio and RealVideo is that it isn't ours to give. We've licensed portions from other companies (e.g. Intel, VoiceAge, and Sony). Rob
