Ignoring the Lenovo vs Nokia case here because it really has nothing to do with video patents other than two company having disagreement.
>The public interest is that interoperability standards should not require patented technology at all to implement.
That is what EVC [1] Baseline Profile is. Basically bringing in all the tools from MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 / H.264 that have patnets expired or soon to be expired ( by the time finalised ). It is expected to be somewhat better than AVC High Profile but not as good as HEVC. ( Which I should remind everyone this claim seems too good to be true and requires 3rd party testing to verify )
It is interesting because a lot of the original purposed tools for H.264 were deemed far too complex for hardware at the time and were not accepted into the standard. Now 20 years later those tools are being put into good use.
