One-Blue is the company offering a one-stop-shop solution for licensing patents from 17 licensors for Blu-ray Disc (BD) products.

Because BD products are backwards compatible, the license programs for BD products include patents that are essential to any of the optical standards, namely the BD, DVD and CD standards.

With this royalty reduction, One-Blue responds to the current and continuing expiration of patents relating to the DVD standards. The 20% reduction of royalty rates will cover the One-Blue license programs for the majority of BD products, including players, recorders, drives, PCs and software. The One-Blue royalty rate for a BD player, for example, will decrease from $9 to $7.20 and the royalty rate for a BD recorder from $12 to $9.60 for shipments of licensed products occurring on or after April 1, 2017.

One-Blue is confident that the new standard royalty rates and favorable license terms continue to provide manufacturers and brand-owners of BD products with value for the scope and breadth of the One-Blue patent portfolio.

The company is currently working to establish a licensing program for Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc (UHD-BD) products, expected to be announced in the coming months.
