InterDigital has filed lawsuits against two Chinese companies, Hisense and TCL, over claims of infringement of intellectual property tied to its joint TV licensing program with Sony.
The mobile, video and AI technology research and development company on Tuesday said it has begun litigation in multiple countries over patents-in-suit related to HEVC, VP9 and AV1 video compression, and high-dynamic-range technologies, which are video compression formats.
InterDigital said that it has launched the cases against the two 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," InterDigital Chief Legal Officer Josh Schmidt said.
