HEVC Advance, an independent licensing administrator, has begun accepting requests for licences for its HEVC/H.265 technology for 4K/Ultra HD.



The news comes after a much-debated licensing fee structure change.

“After receiving a positive response from market participants to our recently announced updated royalty rate structure, we are excited to facilitate accelerated adoption of HEVC/H.265 patented technology,” said HEVC Advance CEO Pete Moller. “Our efficient licensing process will allow organisations of any size to quickly and easily secure necessary patent rights to integrate HEVC/H.265 technology into their products and services.”

In addition HEVC Advance announced the selection of Profirm, also known by its brand name Adminius, to provide worldwide services to HEVC Advance and its licensees and licensors for royalty reporting, royalty invoicing, royalty collection, royalty distribution and withholding tax management.

“Adminius has proven that it has highly skilled staff, customised systems and efficient processes capable of managing the most complex licensing contracts,” added Moller. “The firm’s premium quality services make it the ideal partner for HEVC Advance.”
