AV1 adoption is being driven largely by members of the Alliance for Open Media (“AOM”). AOM members such as Google, Meta, and Netflix increasingly utilize AV1 to deliver video, and adoption now spans smart TVs, streaming media players, mobile devices, web browsers, and chipsets. AV2, AOM’s successor to AV1, is expected to follow a similar path toward deployment, with encoder and decoder support building ahead of a wider rollout. As the footprint of both codecs broadens, Access Advance believes the market has a growing need for a transparent and efficient pool licensing solution for devices and software implementing the AV1 and AV2 specifications, consistent with the role of Access Advance’s HEVC and VVC patent pools.
