>instead of just using the same scare tactic MPEG-LA used before, of empty threats to kill momentum for VP8 Empty threats? They have publicly listed the patents that they think are being infringed. That is more than the MPEG-LA ever did. >If you have something against Google/VP8, sue them already. It doesn't work like that. You need to show the judge that you exhausted all possible avenues before filing a case. And you seem to think patent trials take no time. They take years. The fastest way for VP8 to be clear of this mess is if Google thinks the patents have some merit and they quickly come to a licensing agreement with Nokia like they did with MPEG-LA.
