What if Sysvel and Avanci are (legally) found to be in the right and actually have legitimate patents, and refuse to add their patents to the AOM patent pool? (Why would they agree to that anyway? surely individually licensing AV1 patents would be much more profitable?) Do you think we should just make do with H.264 for another 20 years, or do you think there ought to be a legal solution to the patent mess we're in?

> Why would they agree to that anyway? surely individually licensing AV1 patents would be much more profitable? They won't agree to that. They are already not agreeing to that. The two options to keep AV1 royalty-free are their claims are found to be invalid in court or they get bought off via a settlement.
