InterDigital (IDCC) announced that the company has signed a new patent license agreement with Buffalo Americas and new agreements with a global TV manufacturer. The agreement with Buffalo Americas, Inc. covers Buffalo Americas' network devices under InterDigital's global patent portfolio related to the Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 standards. Buffalo is a leading provider of easy-to-use, reliable and secure data storage solutions. The agreements with the global TV manufacturer relate to InterDigital's HEVC video portfolio as well as the company's Madison joint licensing program with Sony (SONY).

InterDigital announced it has been awarded a preliminary injunction against Transsion by a court in Brazil. The 3rd Regional Business Court of Rio de Janeiro ruled that InterDigital is entitled to a preliminary injunction resulting from Transsion's infringement of two InterDigital 5G patents. The court also found InterDigital's licensing offer to Transsion to be fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory. As a result of the injunction, Transsion is prevented from selling 5G-compliant devices in Brazil. The decision follows the publication of an independent expert report, commissioned by the Rio court, which fully supported InterDigital's position that Transsion infringes both of the patents-in-suit and that the patents are essential to 5G.
