The patents in suit are American property.
The standards as you point out are International, and may contain
non-American patents from non-American companies. Those are
of no interest to the parochial american lawyers and judges.
A small correction, MPEG-LA did not make the h.264 standard,
ITU did, then MPEG-LA rubbed its hands, lesse how many patents
we can pool together boys and make some money from the
captive lusers.

and so is x264. There was discussion a while back about WebM,
and MS were confident their VC1 would win over h264. Now the
World has told MS they don't want VC1, and have told the WebM
people they're scared of submarine patents, so MS has to fall
back to h.264. Notice that MS has deliberately ignored a ripe target,
x264. In past times they would have slipped it into their product
without a word. Maybe they really are scared of GPL.
