Description
JPEG2000 offers advantages over the original JPEG format in image resolution, compression, and encoding capabilities (see more details [here](https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-types/image/comparison/jpeg-vs-jpeg-2000.html)). However, its adoption has been limited due to patent concerns. Although the core coding system is intended to be license-free, certain extensions might require licensing and royalty payments (as per [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000)). This patent issue has led to its deprecation in JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) and limited its widespread use :(
