InterDigital says it deserves fair compensation for its innovation from Disney.
The company has initiated litigation against The Walt Disney Company, including Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+, over what it sees as an ongoing infringement of InterDigital’s intellectual property.
“Our video technologies enable Disney to efficiently stream content and enhance the user experience,” said Josh Schmidt, Chief Legal Officer, InterDigital. “We always prefer to sign license agreements through amicable negotiation, but we are committed to receiving fair compensation for our groundbreaking research, which allows us to continue to invest in the next generation of technology.”
Cases have been initiated in United States Federal District Court in the Central District of California, in Rio de Janeiro State Court, Brazil, in the Munich Regional Court in Germany, and in the Local Divisions of Mannheim and Düsseldorf in the Unified Patent Court.
InterDigital says its advanced video compression technologies help consumers stream content at home and on the move.
