MPEG-G: the ugly

Source: https://globaldossier.uspto.gov/#/result/publication/WO/2018071080/1

The patents all relate to how the sequence is encoded in the MPEG-G draft specification.   Many of these patents have similar problems with prior art, with some claims being sufficiently woolly that CRAM, among others, would infringe on them if granted.  Some are simply huge - over 100 pages of impenetrable lawyer speak and 80+ claims.  Fighting this has become an enormous and unwelcome time sink.
