Emblaze's Media Streaming Patent and MPEG-DASH

License From Emblaze is Required for use of MPEG-DASH Standard (MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming Over HTTP)

HERZELIYA, Israel, June 11, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Emblaze Ltd (LSE: BLZ) has recently filed a Patent Statement & Licensing Declaration
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) stating that the ISO/IEC 23009-1 standard for HTTP
streaming of multimedia content, known as MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP
(MPEG-DASH), incorporates Emblaze's patented streaming technology and, therefore, the use
of this technology is subject to a license from Emblaze.

    In June 2011, Emblaze informed the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that a draft
of HTTP Live Streaming that was proposed by Apple Inc. for standardisation, incorporates
Emblaze's patented streaming technology and, therefore, the use of this technology is not
free and is subject to a license from Emblaze.

    As previously reported, Emblaze filed a claim against Apple Inc. in a U.S. federal
court for infringement of Emblaze's Media Streaming technology, patent number US639473.

    The Emblaze Group is traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: BLZ) since 1996.
