Display Name reacted to Andrew Reid in RED respond to Apple in compressed RAW patent battle
I don't agree.
No more speculation.
This thread is going to be closed now.
I think we need to get back to talking about cameras and codecs rather than legal battles. This isn't what I got into filmmaking for.

RED can still sell cameras with REDCODE.
ARRI can still sell cameras with ProRes, ProRes RAW or cDNG.
Any manufacturer can release a camera with compressed RAW.
Sigma can release the fp with cDNG and ProRes RAW internal.
Blackmagic could expand BRAW.
Apple is seeking to invalidate the patent. They aren't taking control of it.
Then the market will settle the rest.

All that can indeed happen, plenty of room in the market for everyone. But it would be foolish of RED to not enforce their legal rights where there's millions of dollars involved in potential licensing fees so I can see why they are engaging Apple in the patent dispute. In the smartphone industry as well this happens all the time, and they can all sell their similar technology but somebody needs to sort out the economic side, and that's what the US patent office is for I guess.
Personally, as a filmmaker I just want everything for free
Come on Nikon hurry up with that internal ProRes RAW for $1.5k

As I'm intrigued by all this I felt the need to register and take part in it.
Nikon India is trying to say something.
