Well, individuals may have an opinion, but not an amorf group. But what can be stated as fact:
a) When developing the JPEG standard, some members of the group have performed patent searches and on the baseline JPEG, and no patent could be identified.
b) According to the IPR policy of ITU-T and ISO, neither JPEG, nor the Standards Body take position on the validity of any patents claimed on the JPEG technology.
c) Until today no single patent declaration on the baseline JPEG technology was filed to the ITU and ISO/IEC Secretariats by any patent holder.
