InterDigital Awarded Another Injunction Against Disney
By Connor Hart
InterDigital said it has been awarded another injunction against Disney, spanning 11 countries across the European Union.
The ruling comes after InterDigital launched litigation against Disney last year, alleging the entertainment company infringed upon its intellectual property.
InterDigital--which develops mobile, video and artificial-intelligence technology--on Tuesday said a division of the Unified Patent Court ruled the company is entitled to an injunction, finding that Disney infringed upon an InterDigital patent covering HEVC video-coding technology.
The judgement marks the first injunction that InterDigital has received from the Unified Patent Court, the company said.
It has previously been awarded injunctions by courts in Germany and Brazil for infringement of patents related to high dynamic range technology, the dynamic overlaying of multiple video streams, and additional compression technologies related to HEVC and AVC.
"Today's streaming industry could not function without the advanced video technologies that InterDigital researchers have pioneered," Chief Legal Officer Josh Schmidt said.
"We remain committed to securing a long-term agreement with Disney, which reflects fair value for innovation that Disney uses every day, and which enables our ongoing investment in our research to develop next generation video technology," he added.
