quoting the jpeg spec:

------------
annex L
L.1        Introductory remarks
The users attention is called to the possibility that  for some of the coding processes specified in Annexes F, G, H, and J
 compliance with this Specification may require use of an invention covered by patent rights.
By publication of this Specification, no position is taken with respect to the validity of this claim or of any patent rights in
connection therewith. However, for each patent listed in this annex, the patent holder has filed with the Information
Technology Task Force (ITTF) and the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) a statement of willingness to
grant a license under these rights on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions to applicants desiring to
obtain such a license.
The criteria for including patents in this annex are:
           a)   the patent has been identified by someone who is familiar with the technical fields relevant to this
                Specification, and who believes use of the invention covered by the patent is required for implementation
                of one or more of the coding processes specified in Annexes F, G, H, or J;
           b)   the patent-holder has written a letter to the ITTF and TSB, stating willingness to grant a license to an
                unlimited number of applicants throughout the world under reasonable terms and conditions that are
                demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination.
This list of patents shall be updated, if necessary, upon publication of any revisions to the Recommendation | International
Standard.
