The Moving Picture Experts
Group (MPEG) is a working group of
experts that was formed by ISO and IEC to
set standards for audio and video
compression and transmission. Wikipedia

This is an unfortunate turn
of events that an expert witness has the opportunity to
conflate two orthogonal
aspects of MPEG. The Experts Group which gave MPEG its
name, came first. They
are the engineers, technical people setting the standards.
MPEG-LA came later,
usurped the name and hoovered up any loose patents
involved. MPEG-LA are
parasitising the name and causing confusion. They are a
post facto group formed
solely for the purpose of monetizing the patents used by
the technical
processes. They have no technical expertise or input to standards
setting.
Let us hope that the court was enlightened by the "discussion"
and is well aware of
the difference.
