I've seen a few mentions of patents in this discussion. Does anyone know how close AV1 is to infringing on any patents or when we might find out? This is the most recent article I found - http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/News/Online-Video-News/AV1-Is-Finally-Here-but-Intellectual-Property-Questions-Remain-124134.aspx http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/News/Online-Video-New... and it seems that the market doesn't/didn't know enough to know if there are patent infringements.
Yet this article from Mozilla seems like that from June the situation might have changed now that a 1.0 stable spec is out. Given that inspection for infringement has been part of the codec creation process it seems promising that they will be safe. But patents have proven themselves to be funny things.
That said, have there been any updates since June from lawyers/other blogs/etc about the patent situation yet?
