SAN JOSE, Calif., July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA), the technology company whose innovations power next-generation media and semiconductor experiences, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against FuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO) and certain of its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
“We are committed to reaching a fair and mutually beneficial agreement through constructive engagement and good-faith negotiations,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. “Our media technologies are broadly licensed across the pay-TV industry, and we remain open to a resolution with Fubo that appropriately recognizes the value of our innovations. We believe we were left with no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect our intellectual property which reflects decades of research, development and investment.”
In its complaint, Adeia alleges that the Fubo defendants infringe four U.S. patents in Adeia’s media intellectual property (IP) portfolio. The asserted patents relate to technologies that enable key features of advanced media delivery and streaming experiences used by consumers across a broad range of video platforms.
Although Disney is a controlling shareholder of Fubo, Adeia’s previously announced settlement and license with Disney is separate and independent from the claims asserted in this lawsuit regarding Fubo’s unauthorized use of Adeia’s patented technologies. This lawsuit is a distinct matter between Adeia and Fubo.
Over the past four decades, Adeia and its predecessor companies have continuously invested in research and development, resulting in one of the world’s largest intellectual property portfolios comprised of more than 13,750 worldwide patent assets. Today, Adeia’s intellectual property is licensed by many of the world’s leading media, consumer electronics, streaming and semiconductor companies, reflecting the broad adoption and value of its innovations.
