DivX Infringement Complaint ‘Not Factual,’ Realtek Tells ITC

November 12, 2020 by Paul Gluckman|Intellectual Property

DivX’s Sept. 10 International Trade Commission complaint alleging infringement of four adaptive bit rate streaming patents (see 2009160052) is “unfounded,” Realtek responded (login required) Monday in docket 337-TA-1222. Commissioners voted Oct. 14 to open an investigation (see 2010140042). Also responding are LG, MediaTek, MStar, Samsung and TCL. The ITC should deny “in its entirety” any relief DivX seeks, including exclusion and cease and desist orders, said Realtek. DivX’s complaint is “not factual,” said the chipmaker: The infringement allegations are “baseless and should be withdrawn." DivX didn’t respond to questions Tuesday.
