- Munich Regional Court awarded an injunction on Nov 3, 2025
- Parallel Brazilian court granted a preliminary injunction in InterDigital's favor
- Disney retains the right to appeal, creating legal uncertainty
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a mobile, video and AI technology research and development company, today announced it has been awarded an injunction against Disney by a court in Germany.
The Munich Regional Court ruled that InterDigital is entitled to an injunction over Disney’s infringement of an InterDigital patent which enables a method for dynamically overlaying a first video stream with a second video stream comprising, for example, subtitles. Disney can appeal the decision.
The judgment from the Munich court follows a decision from a court in Brazil, in a parallel litigation, to grant a preliminary injunction in InterDigital’s favor, after the court found that Disney infringed both of the InterDigital patents-in-suit.
“This is another illustration of how Disney uses InterDigital’s innovations to stream content to consumers and to build a multi-billion-dollar global streaming business,” commented Josh Schmidt, Chief Legal Officer, InterDigital. “Disney understands the importance of innovation and IP protection to its own business. We encourage Disney to take a license that fairly values InterDigital’s key innovations.”
