WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a mobile, video and AI technology research and development company, today announced that it has initiated litigation against Hisense and TCL over the ongoing infringement of InterDigital's intellectual property, primarily related to InterDigital's joint TV licensing program with Sony.
The patents-in-suit relate to HEVC, VP9 and AV1 video compression, and high dynamic range (HDR) technologies.
Cases have been initiated against the companies at the Munich Local Division of the Unified Patent Court, in the Munich Regional Court in Germany, in Rio de Janeiro State Court in Brazil, and in the Delhi High Court in India.
"Hisense and TCL are both top-five global TV manufacturers and have built their businesses on the back of research carried out by InterDigital engineers," said Josh Schmidt, Chief Legal Officer, InterDigital. "Our decades of investment in foundational research have helped change how we watch our favorite movies and shows, and Hisense and TCL cannot be allowed to continue to infringe our IP, particularly while many of their competitors have taken a license."
