The same applies to every other codec (or piece of software) as well.

The same applies to every other codec (or piece of software) as well. MP3 had Sisvel who came late with legitimate claims (as far as patents go). HEVC now has this second pool coming out of nowhere. If anything, the promise of MPEG-LA, that they manage to build a reliable licensing regime, is broken - and I think it's good that this starts to show. In particular it pleases me that this new group pulls the same stunts on MPEG-LA that MPEG-LA used on others (see their attempt to build a VP8 pool): vague statements of how surely there must be some more patents that they'll maintain soon.
