		Does Theora violate some broad patent?<br />
		Almost certainly.
	</p><p>
		Would said patent possibly be voided if it were brought up in court and scrutinised? Possibly.
	</p><p>
		So it’s not just a case of the MPEG-LA saying that Theora violates their patents, they know they must
		also beat a games of chess ahead of time with an opponent whose moves predates their own.
