Seriously, this hits all the wrong points before sliding into "don't sell this to a patent troll."
"We, the armchair internet, have come to shout at you, innovative dude, that your ideas are worthless and that your interesting product is just fodder for patent trolls," ignores a few minor things -
• The video codec industry is absolutely crawling with overlapping patents enforced by shell companies whose only purpose is to extract license fees from every screen that ever existed. The USPTO seems to not care.
• This video codec was produced cleanly, and does not appear to overlap with any of the existing codecs.
I'd say give this smart person some credit.
- latexr 4y agoPlease don’t strawman. I see no evidence of shouting or calling the idea worthless in the root comment. Quite the contrary: if the poster had found it worthless, they wouldn’t be worried about it being sold to patent trolls. Furthermore, according to the App Store what’s patent-pending is the algorithm that boosts eye contact, so comments on the codec don’t apply.
- sounds 4y agoNot a strawman - I think I'm seeing a video codec. You're seeing a "boosts eye contact" video filter? Can you clarify your statement? Maybe I missed what you meant.
