MP3, MP4 etc. video and audio codecs?

>> Could these be regarded as standards essential?

Even ISO/IEC don't know the answer to that question.

ISO/IEC 14496-10:2004(E)
Information technology — Coding of audio-visual objects —
Part 10: Advanced Video Coding
Annexe F, Patent Rights
The International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission draw attention to the fact that it is claimed that conformance with this specification may involve the use of inventions covered by patent rights.

ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity, and scope of these patent rights.

The following parties have informed ISO and IEC that they may hold patent rights relevant to this part of this International Standard, and have assured ISO and IEC that they are willing to negotiate licenses under reasonable and non- discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world for patent rights necessary in order to manufacture, use, and/or sell implementations of this part of this International Standard.
Thence follows a list of thirty seven companies claiming to hold patents on some of this technology.
