InterDigital Wins EU Injunction Against Disney Over Video Patent Infringement
IDCC sits 36% above its 52-week low of $213.06.
Summary
InterDigital secured a significant legal victory, being awarded an injunction against Disney by the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Europe. This ruling, which applies across 11 EU countries, found Disney infringing an InterDigital patent related to HEVC video encoding. This marks the first UPC injunction against Disney for InterDigital, though other injunctions have been issued in Germany and Brazil. The win strengthens InterDigital's negotiating leverage for a comprehensive licensing agreement with Disney, reinforcing the value of its patent portfolio. This follows a series of successful patent enforcements, including a recent license agreement with Amazon and an injunction against Transsion.
