I'm not at all certain of that, I would expect that there are patents regarding multi-threaded encoding methods as well.

But they have implemented multi-threaded encoding, if they didn't need it why bother in the first place ? The multi-threading method is obviously very resolution dependent, why settle for such a limitation if they don't have to ?
If what you say is true, they could just re-implement the method x264 has for multi-threading the encoding workload, yet they don't.
