This report presents a comprehensive essentiality analysis of Orange’s patent portfolio with respect to the HEVC/H.265 standard. Out of 51 identified patent families, 21 are classified as essential, 28 as non-essential, and 2 as Medium.

The analysis covered key technological areas of block based, predictive coding, Advanced Intra/Inter Prediction Enhancements, Transformation and quantization and filtering.

Each patent was evaluated by manually mapping its independent claim elements to relevant sections of the standard to determine alignment. This detailed mapping highlights Orange’s significant contributions to HEVC and highlights the relevance of its innovations in enabling high-efficiency video coding.

An extensive search of patent databases yielded an initial dataset of around 13k patents in our categories of interest and the relevancy of extracted dataset is analysed based on their abstracts, summaries and claims w.r.t H.265 technology. This process included analyzing the claims, abstracts, and detailed descriptions within the patent documents to assess their relevance w.r.t HEVC.

What you’ll get:

  • Essentiality analysis of Orange's patent portfolio

  • Relevant independent claim

  • Target entity of independent claim

  • Patents that are potentially essential to HEVC standard

  • Patents that are potentially non-essential to HEVC standard

Description

To identify relevant patents, comprehensive searches were conducted across multiple patent databases using a combination of search strings, IPC/CPC classifications, and HEVC–specific keywords.

To determine the essentiality of a patent, each claim is compared to the H.265 standard to identify whether the patented claim’s elements are present in the standard. Essentiality is checked w.r.t all versions of HEVC respectively as improvements have been gradually implemented to address evolving technological demands in HEVC.

Patented claim is compared to the standard and if every element of the claim aligns with the H.265 specifications, the patent is considered essential. On the other hand, if any element is not present or there is a contradiction between the claim and the standard (e.g., conflicting requirements or descriptions), the patent is considered non-essential. This manual evaluation process ensures that only patents fully aligned with the H.265 standard’s requirements are classified as essential.
