The DVD6C Licensing Agency or DVD6C Licensing Group was an industry consortium which licenses a portfolio of patents required to produce DVD discs, players, drives, recorders, decoders, and encoders.
The group was founded in 1999 by 6 members to provide a patent pool.
By 2006, the group comprises 9 members: Hitachi, JVC, Matsushita (Panasonic), Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba, Warner Home Video and Samsung.
As of January 1, 2020, DVD6C was no longer granting licenses to new licensees.
