You would think they would have been part of the earlier DVD suit brought on by MPEG LA. Ampex is not part of any consortium for patent pooling, IMO their chances are slim.

<Since the DVD Forum failed to form a one-stop shop for DVD IP licensing, two competing patent pooling organizations are independently carrying out licensing programs and collecting royalties.

One group called 6C is composed of six companies—Toshiba Corp., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., Victor Co. of Japan (JVC), Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Hitachi Ltd and Time Warner Inc.—and alone is asking for 4 percent royalties per a hardware unit, according to Hase. A separate DVD patent pool, called 3C—comprised of Royal Philips Electronics, Sony Corp. and Pioneer Corp.—is demanding 3.5 percent royalties per a hardware unit. In addition, MPEG LA is seeking royalties from manufacturers using patents related to MPEG-2 video, while Dolby is after those who implement Dolby Digital in their DVD players. Both Thomson and DiscoVision own patents involving optical disk technology, and each is looking to collect separate royalties. There is also a licensing fee for a copy protection system used within a DVD player.>
