One-Blue, LLC
marked the first anniversary of its Blu-ray Disc product licensing
program July 1, 2012, having achieved progress establishing a patent
pool that promotes a level playing field for licensors and licensees of
Blu-ray Disc product patents.

Since launching the program 12 months ago, the One-Blue global patent pool has signed on 15 licensors representing the leading providers of Blu-ray, DVD and CD optical storage technology. To date, 88 manufacturers are listed as licensed by One-Blue from more than 15 countries.
"One-Blue was created using industry best practices that are designed to ensure equitable terms, fair pricing and the consistent protection of Blu-ray patents for all participants - licensors and licensees - wherever they are located," said Roel Kramer, CEO of One-Blue. "As the one-stop shop for Blu-ray disc product patents, One-Blue provides essential patent licenses for the overwhelming majority of Blu-ray optical product IP."
Companies that have joined the One-Blue patent pool as licensors are Cyberlink, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, JVC Kenwood, LG Electronics, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Taiyo Yuden and Yamaha.
The support the patent pool has received validates of One-Blue's approach to patent pooling, which includes per-batch licensing, pre-netting, and product-based royalties.
