Two Chinese ETRI video codec patents held invalid

The Beijing Intellectual Property Court found all claims of two Chinese patents, CN103384333B and CN104219523B, invalid after the patent owner, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), filed an appeal. The CN’333 and CN’523 patents are related to patents that are designated essential to the Access Advance (formerly known as HEVC Advance) patent pool as well as SISVEL’s AV1 and VP9 patent pools.

Unified is represented by Tao Chen, Yu Yan, and Peter Zhang at Wei Chixue Law Firm, and the case is managed by in-house counsel, Jessica L.A. Marks and Roshan Mansinghani.
