If other companies also own patents on MP3 technology, why is FhG the only company actively pursuing claims?
This is up to each company of course, and only speculation is possible. Some choices might be: – Other companies want their technology to be freely available. – Other companies don’t care if free software infringes their patents. – Other companies are going to pursue claims, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. – Other companies are waiting to see what happens with FhG’s claims. – Other companies are letting FhG do their dirty work for them. You can probably come up with some more of your own.
