Every codec is patent-infested.
Sisvel has a patent pool for AV1 and AOM is being sued by the EU for not offering FRAND terms:

- tpxl 4y ago> AOM is being sued by the EU for not offering FRAND terms Can you expand on this? If I'm reading correctly, the issue is 'mandatory royalty-free cross licensing' which is supposed to bring down innovation? If yes, this sounds like some grade A bullshit.
- pornel 4y agoAnyone can set up a patent pool claiming to be for anything, and hope fools will buy it. This scam has been done to previous VPx codecs too. And anyone can sue anybody for anything. Until there's a judgement it doesn't mean much. But there is an alliance around AV1 patents, and it has strong backers to fight off the trolls: https://aomedia.org/membership/members/ https://aomedia.org/membership/members/
