At the MC-IF booth, located in Hall 8 at Booth B45 (8.B45), InterDigital will spotlight VVC contributions and energy aware media solutions that help reduce a video screen’s energy consumption by intelligently optimizing pixel brightness. The featured demonstration, “DVB Native IP End-to-End VVC Encoding of Energy-Aware HDR Content,” was designed by InterDigital alongside ATEME, ENENSYS, and IETR as part of the collaborative 3EMS2 project and proposes a method to reduce energy consumption by adjusting the peak brightness of the HDR screen. The adjustment is made possible by a Versatile Supplemental Enhancement Information (VSEI) message at the encoder side that indicates the extent to which the screen’s peak brightness can be reduced, while maintaining the objective quality of the HDR content using SL-HDR technology. The demo will leverage InterDigital and partners contributions to the VVC codec, which is capable of a 40% reduction in bitrate on streamed video with no perceptible decrease in image quality.
At the Ultra HD Forum booth, located in Hall 10 Booth C09 (10.C09), InterDigital will showcase demos on energy aware media and Advanced HDR solutions. Specifically, InterDigital will demonstrate pioneering innovations in Pixel Value Reduction (PVR) solutions that balance the ability to reduce the brightness of an image, and consequently reduce the amount of energy consumed, while maximizing the perceived visual quality to the viewer. As global video consumption grows, InterDigital’s solution makes small reductions in pixel brightness, which cannot be perceived by the viewer, amounting to colossal energy savings across billions of screens and devices worldwide. In addition, InterDigital’s contributions to Advanced HDR by Technicolor solutions will be shown in the demonstration of an “Effective HDR/SDR Single Master Workflow with Dynamic and Static Solutions,” alongside partners KPN, LGE and Ross Video. The demo will address the challenges of producing premium HDR live events and deriving SDR content in a single workflow, ensuring that creative intent and highest quality content is passed to the consumer, whether in HDR or SDR, UHD or HD.
Advanced HDR by Technicolor solutions, developed jointly by Philips and InterDigital, will also be shown at the IABM Lounge at IBC. Advanced HDR by Technicolor is a suite of High Dynamic Range (HDR) production, distribution and display solutions that leverage machine learning technology to maximize image quality and enhance the consumer viewing experience. The demos will showcase the increasingly important role Advanced HDR solutions play in broadcast and streaming services, especially in delivering live sports and events. Advanced HDR is offering invite-only demonstrations of Dynamic Conversion Solutions and Efficient Solution to Deliver Premium HDR and SDR Services.
“We’re excited to return to IBC to display both the quality of our video innovation and the value of our industry partnerships and collaborations,” said Lionel Oisel, VP, Head of Video Labs, InterDigital. “Our engineers contribute to the cutting-edge capabilities of video codecs and new energy aware media solutions and our collaboration with industry groups like MC-IF and Ultra HD Forum help amplify our impact.”
Teecee, the open options were not large. There is usually smaller volume if my group is not playing.

At $29 per vehicle and in 2022 BMW built about 2.4 million vehicles, this Avanci license may be worth about $69.6 million. What is IDCC's percentage out of that total Avanci revenue?

Avanci 5G Vehicle
Thanks Paulee and Gamco. For those who are not a subscriber like me to article posted by Paulee, here is another article about the Avanci/BMW 5G license.
BMW Group joins Avanci 5G Connected Vehicle Licensing Program
Avanci 5G doubles number of licensees, quadruples number of licensed brands as BMW signs up: Volkswagen/Audi next?
The Avanci 5G automotive standard-essential patent (SEP) pool revealed Mercedes-Benz as its first licensee last month. Today the licensing program announced that BMW has joined as well, which takes the number of licensed brands from one to four: Mercedes, BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce. Today's press release also indicates that the number of licensors has increased from 58 to 61.
By now, almost the entire automotive industry has an Avanci 4G license. But back in 2017, BMW became Avanci's first 4G licensee. It took a while for that pool to be widely adopted. Things appear to be going significantly faster with Avanci 5G now.
In retrospect, BMW's decision made business sense unless one believes in the illegal concept of group boycott: Mercedes (then named Daimler) and Volkswagen did not save money by opposing the Avanci model. They ended up choosing the pool license over bilateral licensing negotiations and disputes, but unlike BMW they incurred litigation expenses (in Volkswagen's case, the dispute was short-lived and due to the fact they licensed only 3G patents for most of the cars the group makes). BMW saved money, time, and energy. They stayed above the fray.
While I have not yet seen a German SEP infringement case targeting BMW, they are clearly not a soft target for non-SEP holders. Typically represented by Bardehle Pagenberg's Professor Tilman Mueller-Stoy ("Müller-Stoy in German), BMW is known to defend itself vigorously against patent infringement assertions, though most of the time the outcome is, obviously, a license agreement. If such a company takes a license without litigation, it must have concluded that the licensed patents are valuable.
Germany's remaining three automotive brands are Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, all of which belong to Volkswagen Group. Audi and Porsche clearly compete in some of the same market segments as BMW and Mercedes. It would make a lot of sense for VW to join the pool now. Sooner or later, some 5G SEP holders will start to enforce their rights against unwilling licensees. Just like German judges pressed Mercedes (then named Daimler) to explain why a license that had been taken by their closest (and equally German) competitors: BMW and Audi. I doubt that Audi would want to have to justify--particularly in front of the same judges who heard Nokia v. Daimler--a refusal to take a license that Mercedes and BMW deem to make economic sense.
Just like actions speak louder than words, real-world license deals are way more meaningful than spin doctoring and political propaganda. Mercedes-Benz told the EU that the proposed SEP regulation (or something even more lopsided) was badly needed, yet became the first Avanci 5G licensee because they deemed it prudent. Similarly, BMW Group is now an early adopter of the Avanci 5G license, yet it is a member of the Fair Standards Alliance and of certain automotive industry organizations that take similar positions.
There's nothing difficult to understand: every company would like to bring any cost category--here, cellular SEP license fees--down, even if such costs are already fair and reasonable. Automakers are no different. That is unrelated to the merits of Avanci providing a one-stop solution that Mercedes and BMW have twice (4G and now 5G) considered superior over dozens and dozens of bilateral deals. And opportunism by some car makers certainly doesn't make the EU proposal any less misguided. Case in point, a single Nokia v. OPPO decision in Sweden (which went in the defendant's favor) showcases at least four of the countless flaws of that bill.
Accurate and holistic analysis needs to look at what those companies say and what they do. License deals that are concluded in the absence of litigation--and presumably even without the slightest threat of litigation other than the fact that any infringement may sooner or later become the subject of enforcement action.
Europe's and particularly Germany's automotive industry is facing undeniably large problems. Cellular SEP licensing is none of them, though. Even if those costs were reduced through political intervention (which I don't see happening, though it is some people's agenda), that wouldn't help to address any of the fundamental challenges facing the European auto sector, particularly because there's no comparative advantage for companies selling cars in a given target market in which certain patents must be licensed.
Today's Avanci-BMW announcement is good news for those who argue that the market can and will find solutions, as are other recent license deals such as Huawei's recent agreement with Xiaomi.
Patent pools exist to simplify licensing--which must have been the reason why BMW entered into one agreement rather than 60+ bilateral deals--while some EU officials and politicians are trying to complicate the process and mistakenly view pools as part of the problem, not part of the solution.
BREAKING: Avanci signs BMW as first new 5G programme licensee since launch
Three licensors, including Deutsche Telekom, also added to new connected vehicle licensing programme.
Avanci’s 5G licensing platform is a very big deal

A buck increase in the dividend would have definitely terminated a bunch of the shortest.
I would guess that this dividend increase broke the shorty selloff momentum move, as an increase always leaves one thinking "What does management know that we don't know!"
Tomcat
there we go...share count probably down close to 14% in last year or so....dividend now up 14%....simple math is the easiest to understand
Finally, a well deserved dividend increase for long-term shareholders. Management is finally attempting to protect share price other than through share buybacks. .
Great!! Just over a 14% increase. Some speculated it would not be anything more than 10%. Glad a see a positive event in the wake of the Lenovo court decision, appeal, and new litigations at the US ITC and North Carolina federal court.
WOW ! A MIRICLE IN THE MAKING ! ABOUT TIME. Maybe the bleeding will stop
Ask and you shall receive.
InterDigital Announces Increase of Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend
Company Release - 9/13/2023
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a mobile and video technology research and development company, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in the company’s quarterly cash dividend from $0.35 to $0.40 per share.
The increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend will take effect beginning with the dividend to be paid in fourth quarter 2023. The Board of Directors also declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on its common stock, payable on October 25, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 11, 2023.
israt, I take it as neutral as I would like to see it increase. I am waiting to see how many shares the company bought back this quarter. I know that most people on here want instant gratification, but sometimes it takes patience to set the trap...
I don't know but it seems sad that IDCC management spent hundreds of millions of dollars to increase shareholder value and here we are on the threshold of a 20% haircut since the 52-week high of $98.69. It seems the shorts are still able to play this stock like a fiddle. Hey IDCC management, you want to increase shareholder value???, spend more on a dividend increase and less on share buyback. Now with that said, its likely IDCC management was expecting a better outcome for the worldwide SEP rate from the UK court case with Lenovo and as a result the UK appeal and recently the US ITC and the North Carolina federal court. We all know how long it takes for court cases to play out to a decision and hopefully one in IDCC's favor. This may be causing the downward pressure on the stock price. Just IMHO.
Vegas, do you take that as good or bad news?
israt
Short interest as of 8/31down to 3.117M shares
Looks like we will drop below $80. It;s a shame, especially since there is no bad news that brought us down from the $97 leval.
Orientbull, I don't know whether Huawei is fixed or not. One could think well it does not matter. If there are a billion smartphones sold worldwide what does it matter if Apple or Huawei sells more phones than the other one as long as they are both licensed. Unfortunately it is not that simple. Huawei is involved with base stations and smartphones. I know Apple is involved with cell phones. When IDCC does a license does it apply specific patents or a broad portfolio of patents to determine a license amount for each licensee. Do video patents apply to all licensees. Maybe most analysts have avoided following IDCC because there simply is not enough transparent information to place a fair value on the company. Personally I think IDCC is worth a lot. But I don't know how much. As one poster pointed out there are a lot of talented people working for IDCC perhaps because they see an innovative company that is small and they have a chance to make a difference. I look at a lot of companies with much higher valuations and they may offer entertainment or whatever and I look at what IDCC has contributed over the years to communication and I wonder who is really benefiting society. As David Goldman of Asia Times has stated broadband is to the 4th industrial revolution (data and AI) as what railroad tracks were to the industrial revolution in the USA in the 19th century.
IMO don't know whether Huawei is a fixed or a per unit licensee. if Huawei is a per unit licensee of IDCC, their new successful product launch would benefit IDCC..However, their new products will hurt the revenues of both Qualcomm and Apple. AMHO
Does anyone know if these are the same patents litigated in the UK trial and currently under appeal? I assume the US patents in the US Federal court and ITC cases are different patents and are NOT standards essential patents (SEP).
From BBC News: 'Apple shares slide after China iPhone government ban reports' by Mariko Oi & Chris Vallance.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66748092
I've ignored coming here for quite a while. I just don't understand why IDCC seems to finally start to do something in regards to valuation rise only to drop like a brick as it has always did. It never fails. Next rise into mid-90's, I am finally getting out. This has been going on for over 20 years. Where's the transparency?
Hmmm…IDCC putting pressure on Lenovo / Motorola for a better rate using the UK appeal process and now this new legal action.
InterDigital Hits Lenovo, Motorola With Patent Fights
By Adam Lidgett · Listen to article
Law360 (September 6, 2023, 7:02 PM EDT) -- Wireless and video technology company InterDigital has launched legal proceedings in federal district court and at the International Trade Commission alleging Lenovo and Motorola laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones infringe multiple patents on coding and wireless technology.
Various InterDigital entities filed a complaint in North Carolina federal court and at the ITC Friday against Lenovo and Motorola, claiming they infringed five InterDigital patents that "enable wireless file-sharing between devices" and are important to "delivery and consumption of an enormous amount of video content on a daily basis."
In the district court case, InterDigital wants a finding that Lenovo is infringing the patents-at-issue and for damages, among other things, according to court records.
In the ITC case, InterDigital is seeking a ban on imports of the products, including the Lenovo ThinkPad laptop and Motorola Edge+ smartphone, according to ITC records.
Chinese technology giant Lenovo earlier this summer walked away the "overall winner" in a London court judgment on costs in its long-running dispute with wireless and video technology company InterDigital over fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory licensing rates for wireless patents.
"We remain committed to receiving a fair return on the billions of dollars that we have invested in foundational wireless and video innovation that drives so much of the connected world around us and which Lenovo continues to infringe in a number of their products," Josh Schmidt, InterDigital's chief legal officer, said in a statement to Law360 Wednesday.
Representatives for Lenovo and Motorola did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The patents-at-issue are U.S. Patent Nos. 10,250,877; 8,674,859; 9,674,556; 9,173,054 and 8,737,933.
InterDigital is represented by M. Scott Stevens, Philip C. Ducker, Katherine G. Rubschlager, Ryan W. Koppelman, Neal A. Larson, Jenny J. Wang and Adam D. Swain of Alston & Bird LLP.
Counsel for Lenovo and Motorola was not immediately available Wednesday.
The district court case is InterDigital Inc. et al. v. Lenovo Group Limited et al., case number 5:23-cv-00493, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

The mobile app seems the same.
Just above the box where you see “write a new post” there’s a place to choose classic view versus new full view. Select classic.
This new format on Investorshub is not as good as the old format!
Ok August dog days are over. Let’s rev up this greyhound for a return to the 90s in less than than 30 days.
Yellowcat, I agree, as you said IDCC could develop a game changing AI patent or application.
Monterey,
Yes, you are probably correct; however, IDCC could develop a key game changing patent and or application for AI. What is different now is that prior IP patent cases have been tried and have gone through the years of endless appeals to be found in IDCC's favor. This is an important precedent that distinguishes our future from our past. IDCC is much smaller than QCOM, so the impact of such a finding would be greater to our bottom line.
Also, IDCC is a pure play on IP - money doesn't have to be spent on property and equipment for manufacturing. IDCC just has to me a place that inspires the best and brightest of electrical engineers and researchers. It is small enough where an individual's efforts can make a major impact.
IMHO - Tomcat
Possibly in my humble thinking, the comparison of NVDA in AI, a semiconductor business, to IDCC in AI is like IDCC in wireless to QCOM in wireless and a semiconductor business. The same amount of market respect may never come. JMHO I certainly hope that's not the case though. I do think things are much better for IDCC now that at any t in tIMEhe past. Hey IDCC mgmt, how about a dividend increase. 😀

Moderators |
The principle objective of the iHub message boards is to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio while encouraging the exchange of all points of view. Moderators are an important part of making our message boards beneficial to all participants and readers. Moderating a stock-specific board, particularly those which are controversial due to many divergent perspectives or newsworthy events, can be a challenging and time consuming role. The time and effort expended by our Members who volunteer their time to fulfill this valuable role is greatly appreciated and our Moderators should be treated with the respect they deserve for donating their time and efforts to the collective benefit of our community. Company-specific boards are the lifeblood of iHub. The Moderators' role is simple to define for company-specific boards:
To promote the civil exchange of on-topic dialog that complies with the Investors Hub Terms of Service. |
It is no accident that neither the above definition nor the Terms of Service makes mention of investment sentiment, shareholder interests, or considerations such as "the good of the company." That is because the TOS are blind to investment sentiment. In order to be a successful Moderator and conduct a board within the scope of iHub's TOS, it is critical that Moderators distinguish their role and privileges as Moderator from their role and privileges as a posting Member. That is often easier said than done, particularly on active boards with both the typical and atypical controversy.
If a post does not fit into any of these categories the post must not be removed.
Some posts fall into a "gray" area and are borderline depending upon the way they are read. As inclusion is favored over exclusion, please err or the side of not removing posts if they are not clear violations. Please use the "Report TOS Violation" button at the bottom of the post with your comments if the post is not egregious in nature and Site Admins will review the message.
Bottom line: Please use your best judgment in removing posts based on the above guidelines and let us know if you have any questions or need any help. And keep in mind that post removal and non-removal have to be given the same emphasis. It is not permissible, for example, to remove a post that calls someone a "pumper" while not also removing a post that calls someone a "basher". Investor sentiment, including your own, can NOT be part of the removal/non-removal decision.
