That it is only persecuting hardware inplementations gives me little relief. Low power hardware blocks should be readily available & usable, be a great help to making computers & sound devices better, with low power consumption.
This is, as much as anything, a huge blow against making bluetooth generally good & better; a great potential general use codec, encumbered! Alas! Make sure we cant use anything but locked-in overpriced proprietary codecs. Keep standards from actually developing healthily, fighting a 10+ year old codec from growing. Everyone associated with this patent pool should be blocked from the OIN patent pool immediately & with malice. Alas OIN is too old to have defenses against these here new crust of aggro lawyering stasists.
