Dolby Laboratories, Inc. files its Annual Report describing a licensing-led audio and video technology business built around Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and core audio/video codecs.

Dolby supports around 1,000 device manufacturers globally, relies heavily on patent pools for standard-essential codecs like AAC, AVC and HEVC, and also operates Dolby Cinema and the Dolby OptiView SaaS platform.
