Brought to you by the company that fires employees that desire to discuss company diversity programs and bans content on its severs that it deems unethical. Totally not evil.

It is not unlike the Cloudflare banning some crazy right wing website recently and publicly claiming it dangerous for a company to become the online arbiter for speech, while the CEO behind the scenes is sending memos how it was his decision and just something he wanted to do etc.
I think it a pretty common pattern for the perpetrators to claim officially to very much against the things they might be accused of. Some of that might even work at the unconscious level. And I think corporations also have a kind of unconscious mind (all the unwritten rules, culture and hidden incentives).
I'm not understanding how Google and employees is claiming to be the original inventor here. Each inventor must sign an oath or declaration that includes certain statements required by law and the USPTO rules, including the statement that he or she believes himself or herself to be the original inventor or an original joint inventor of a claimed invention in the application and the statement that the application was…

Sounds dramatic, but today it seems like he had a point. The other guy (guarding Wikipedia against self promotion) has a point too, though.

Likely they are patenting their use of ANS rather than ANS itself. You can patent anything if you get specific enough. For things like video formats it actually works because it keeps others from creating decoders/encoders.
Applying it to video is one of the most obvious applications and it pretty much just slots in as a module, replacing huffman coding or arithmetic coding.

Yeah, that's always tricky, but you are still missing the point. It's not using it for video they have to prove is non obvious but how they are using it for video. Given the elite mathematical skills you'll need to understand all of this I suspect they'll be able to protect it.

I stand by their right to dismiss employees that make the company look bad. I also stand by their right to remove content that is might mislead people into doing something that would harm themselves ( https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiratard/comments/5vwedb/google... ).
But oh wait, you only agree if it benefits you. Otherwise you will protest, am I right?

The genius of ANS is that it isn't a difficult concept to understand. It's a cleverly designed look-up-table. The only really difficult part is the proof of certain parts of the codec window.
