WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a wireless, video and AI technology research and development company, today announced that it has been awarded another injunction against Disney by a court in Europe.

The Düsseldorf Local Division of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) ruled that InterDigital is entitled to an injunction over Disney’s infringement of an InterDigital patent covering technology which allows users to enjoy seamless viewing when sharing video content between different devices; the court also confirmed the validity of this patent. The injunction against Disney covers Germany and the Netherlands. Disney can appeal the decision.

The judgment from the Düsseldorf court is the third injunction that InterDigital has received from the UPC against Disney; the two previous injunctions both covered patents related to certain video encoding techniques related to HEVC. The UPC is a pan-European patent court which issues decisions that apply across multiple countries in the European Union (EU).

Outside of the UPC, InterDigital has been awarded injunctions from national courts in Germany and Brazil for Disney’s infringement of InterDigital’s intellectual property related to high dynamic range (HDR) technology, the dynamic overlaying of multiple video streams, and additional encoding technologies related to HEVC and AVC.

"This patent-in-suit is another excellent example of how InterDigital shapes so much of the streaming experience from the processing and distribution of video content to the overall user experience," said Josh Schmidt, Chief Legal Officer, InterDigital. "InterDigital research powers a broad sweep of the streaming industry and by receiving a fair return for Disney’s use of our technologies, we will be able to continue to invest in the next generation of foundational technologies."
