InterDigital Secures Unified Patent Court Injunction Against Disney

This legal victory represents the first such injunction InterDigital has secured from the Unified Patent Court. The litigation, initiated last year, centers on the proprietary technology powering modern streaming services. InterDigital, which specializes in mobile, artificial intelligence, and video compression, has previously won similar rulings in German and Brazilian courts regarding high dynamic range imaging and multi-stream video overlay.

Josh Schmidt, chief legal officer at InterDigital, stated that the company remains focused on reaching a long-term licensing agreement with Disney. He emphasized that the current streaming landscape relies heavily on the innovations developed by his firm’s researchers, arguing that a settlement must reflect the fair market value of these technologies to support future R&D efforts.
