MPEG-4 is a digital compression standard for multimedia developed by the Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). The final MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License — which sets fees for use of MPEG-4 encoders and decoders on devices including PCs, mobile phones and in consumer electronics — was released last November.
Larry Horn, MPEG LA’s vice president of licensing and business development, will conduct the individual sessions and review the licensing programs at the March 27 meeting.
