German Court Finds Dvd Disc Manufacturer Ods Infringes Mpeg-2 Patents

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2006--A District Court in Germany (Landgericht Dusseldorf) today announced verdicts finding that German DVD disc manufacturer Optical Disc Service ("ODS") has infringed certain patents licensed in the MPEG-2 Patent Portfolio License offered by MPEG LA as a result of ODS's manufacture of DVD discs.

The verdict of infringement as a result of DVD disc manufacturing issued in eight of nine cases brought by six patent holders who are Licensors to MPEG LA's MPEG-2 Patent Portfolio License.

See http://www.mpegla.com/news/n_05-08-02PR.pdf.

The patent holders alleged that using the MPEG-2 Standard in recording video onto DVD discs constituted acts of infringement.

The MPEG-2 Standard is the core technology underlying the efficient creation, transmission, storage and display of digitized moving images and sound tracks on which DVD and other digital technologies are based; and the DVD-Video Standard (DVD Specifications for Read-Only Disc, Part 3: VIDEO SPECIFICATIONS) requires DVD Video discs to contain information formatted in accordance with the MPEG-2 Standard.
