An independent licensing administrator, Access Advance, has just recently announced that Vivo Mobile Communication has officially joined the HEVC Advanced Patent Pool, which will enable the smartphone maker to gain access to more than 16,000 patents.

The announcement was made by Access Advance earlier this month. Now, Vivo will also have access to a large number of patents based on the HEVC/H.265 video codec standard. Access Advance CEO Peter Moller stated that “We are very pleased that Vivo has chosen to join our HEVC Advance program. Vivo’s joining is another important endorsement by a major smartphone manufacturer and brand, further demonstrating the value of our HEVC pool license.”

He further added that the company is the latest to join their HEVC Advance program, which is already licensing a large majority of brands within the smartphone market. This includes reputable smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, with new additions being Vivo and recently even ZTE. Peter Moller also said that “We thank Vivo and all our Licensees and Licensors for their support and expect to have further significant announcements soon.”

For those unaware, Access Advance licenses its technology and patents to a number of firms across various fields. It was formed as an independent licensing entity that will lead the development, administration, and management of patent pools for licensing essential patents of the most important standards based video codec technologies that is currently being used across the globe. Meaning, Vivo has also gained accessed to new technologies that will likely help in its smartphone operations.
