Adeia Inc. (NASDAQ:ADEA), the technology company known for developing foundational innovations that enable next-generation solutions for the semiconductor and media industries, today announced that its subsidiaries filed a patent infringement lawsuit against DISH Network Corporation and certain of its affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint alleges that DISH infringes five patents from Adeia's media intellectual property (IP) patent portfolio related to core media and pay-TV technologies.
Adeia's innovations have been foundational to the evolution of digital television and media distribution, including technologies that enable content discovery and advanced viewing experiences. Adeia's media IP portfolio is broadly licensed across the pay-TV industry, including the vast majority of leading U.S. providers, reflecting both the value and relevance of our innovations.
"For decades, DISH and its predecessors have licensed and relied on our foundational technologies to build and enhance their services," said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. "DISH's continued use of our foundational technology without authorization leaves us no choice but to take action. Adeia has consistently demonstrated its commitment to protecting the value of its innovations through negotiated license agreements and when necessary, through targeted litigation, as seen in our recent outcomes with Disney and AMD. We remain open to reaching a fair and reasonable resolution but are fully prepared to pursue this matter through the legal process and are confident in our position."
Adeia's portfolio includes thousands of patents and patent applications worldwide, covering key technologies in digital entertainment, media platforms, and semiconductor solutions. The Company remains committed to driving innovation while ensuring that its intellectual property is respected and appropriately licensed.
