UHD Drive

One-Blue has created a batch-based licensing system based on registration by manufacturers of registered Ultra HD Blu-ray™ products, enabling those manufacturers who have registered with One-Blue to apply for licenses on a per-batch basis and to apply for Licensed Status Confirmation Documents. LSCDs are required for the purpose of confirming that the relevant shipment of such registered products is licensed.

One-Blue offers agreements to manufacturers of UHD Drive that specify the terms and conditions under which manufacturers use certain essential patents for UHD Drive.
