Fortunately patents are very time limited - and so all those will expire in a decade or so and then you can make whatever.

I am still waiting for video encoders and decoders patents to go away so we could have easy open source implementations that are royalty free, not patent incumbed to be easily available in open source applications that could be also commercial. We don't have any decent easy to go ones since Theora.
what kind of business can afford to sit around for 20 years waiting for a patent to expire?
