- shmerl 5mo agoHopefully their patents will be busted and preferably Dolby will be also forced to pay damages for filing invalid lawsuits. That's the only way to teach patent trolls proper lessons.
- lofaszvanitt 5mo agoHow is Dolby a patent troll? :D
- shmerl 5mo agoBecause they have nothing to do with AV1, they simply want to leech on it. It's fitting to call them a patent troll.
- adgjlsfhk1 5mo agothey're a company that doesn't make any products. they just get actual hardware engineers to pay them to put a logo on their devices and to prevent Dolby from suing
- necovek 5mo agoWhile I agree with the general sentiment, I would not classify Dolby as a "patent troll" — they still do invest in research and developing products, right?
- kasabali 5mo agoPatent mob seems more fitting. Another example is Qualcomm
- shmerl 5mo agoI'd classify any patent racketeer as a troll. Dolby has nothing to do with AV1, they just want a parasitic rent on it. Whether the troll actually does anything else besides the trolling part isn't really relevant.
