Access Advance LLC (“Advance”) today announced the results of several significant decisions by the Licensors in both the HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Patent Pools. Both patent pools opted to maintain their current royalty rates and caps for Licensees who sign before December 31, 2025, and to extend an incentive that aligns the royalty caps for Advance’s Multi-Codec Bridging Agreement (“MCBA”) and the VVC Advance Patent Pool for Licensees who sign the MCBA during the same period.
