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.

InterDigital Secures Unified Patent Court Injunction Against Disney
A division of the Unified Patent Court has granted InterDigital an injunction against Disney, barring the entertainment giant from using specific video-coding technologies across 11 European Union countries. The ruling validates InterDigital’s claims that Disney infringed upon its patented HEVC video-compression standards, marking a significant escalation in their ongoing intellectual property dispute.
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.
