InterDigital has been awarded a third injunction against Disney by the Unified Patent Court, this time from the Düsseldorf Local Division, which ruled on Disney's infringement of a patent covering seamless video sharing between devices and confirmed the patent's validity. The injunction applies to Germany and the Netherlands, and Disney may appeal. This follows two earlier UPC injunctions against Disney related to HEVC video encoding patents. Additionally, InterDigital has secured injunctions from national courts in Germany and Brazil over Disney's use of its HDR and other video technologies. Josh Schmidt, InterDigital's Chief Legal Officer, emphasized that the ruling exemplifies how the company's research underpins the streaming industry and that fair compensation enables continued investment in foundational technologies.
