I should say that it only follows if the patents in the patent pool apply exclusively/specifically to H.264.
And they don't. For example, "Method for processing decoded picture blocks in a block-based method of picture coding" was filed in '96 and granted in '99, and is part of the H264 patent pool.

There's a long list that goes like this.
MPEG-LA actually goes through great effort to show how each specific claim in the patent maps to a specific section in the spec: http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/avcCrossRe...
