At the center of the case is the widely used video compression standard HEVC, also known as H.265. Nokia owns several standard-essential patents tied to the codec...
I feel like I’m missing something here. What do the manufacturers have to do with this, beyond perhaps including HEVC in advertising content? That’s on the GPU maker, AFAIK asus/acer practically purchase them from a catalog and build the rest around that size/shape
Edit: if its the licensing fee, that’s on the OS and/or end user, not the hardware

Maybe they’re including the unlicensed codec in their computers.
