Analysis Of The MPEG-4 Visual Patent Pool In The MPEGLA And And The Corresponding Strategy

With the development of the information technology, the development of the image communication technology is very rapid. Especially, the video encoding technology which is the basic of the image communication technology proposes the new encoding technology and standard continually to adapt to various communication condition and user requirement. Because of less study in the art on the patent pool, and patent study and analysis of the patent pool specific standards, a little study on the patent application involves only time, IPC classification, country distribution, grade and hierarchical quantity statistics. And non study is performed on all technical content of patent itself and validity time. Also it does not give how to reasonable avoid each of the patent pool and patent infringement, and according to the patent pool open content, how to choose the research direction and puts forward an application for a patent for the advice.Therefore, the research content includes the analysis on the generally distribution characteristics of the patents which don't include patent families, generally distribution characteristics of the patents which include patentfamilies, time distribution characteristics, regional distribution characteristics, and patent technology characteristics of MPEG-4 Visual standard of the patent pool in MPEG LA patent management company, and focus on analysis on the technology content. According to the study results of the patent pool, we can put forward the coping strategy corresponding to distribution characteristics of the patent pool generally, the coping strategy corresponding to the time distribution characteristics of the patents, the coping strategy corresponding to the regional distribution characteristics, and the coping strategy corresponding to the patent technology characteristics of MPEG-4 Visual standard of the patent pool in'MPEG LA patent management company. Meanwhile, we can put forward the some other advice corresponding to the MPEG-4 Visual standard of the patent pool in MPEG LA patent management company.
