TiVo has announced the renewal of its patent licence with Google.
The search company has been a licensee since 2012 and holds “broad coverage under TiVo’s patent portfolios.”
“We are very pleased to conclude this agreement with Google, a world leader in OTT video with YouTube and Google TV, and a top 10 US Pay-TV provider with YouTube TV,” said Samir Armaly, president, IP licensing of TiVo’s parent Xperi. “Google has always worked to bring content to the screen that’s most convenient for users. This agreement illustrates the relevance of TiVo’s innovations across all forms of video consumption, from linear to on-demand, and from traditional TV platforms to online and mobile.”
TiVo heavily polices its patent portfolio and regularly reports high profile signatories and litigation.
