DivX-TCL License Pact ‘Puts an End’ to Their Patent Litigation, Says DivX

TCL signed a license agreement with DivX that “puts an end to all pending patent litigation matters between the parties,” said the licensor Wednesday. A DivX complaint at the International Trade Commission in November sought an import ban on TCL smart TVs for allegedly infringing a September 2014 patent on adaptive bitrate streaming (see 2111300045). The complaint progressed in February to a Section 337 investigation. DivX and TCL intend to file a joint motion to terminate the investigation, said an April 14 order signed by Administrative Law Judge Monica Bhattacharyya. TCL didn’t comment Wednesday.
