You are confusing MPEG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Picture_Experts_Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Picture_Experts_Group) and MPEG LA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_LA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_LA). The latter one is evil.

Yes I was, things seem a lot clearer now. So, from what I understand, researchers (and companies) make standards through MPEG and ISO. Companies holding patents for the included technologies then put their patents into the MPEG LA patent pool (in a way totally unrelated to MPEG). Is that about right?

  Yes.
