Description
Luke Norton explores the Düsseldorf Local Division decision in InterDigital v The Walt Disney from 23 July 2026, finding that Disney had infringed InterDigital’s patent EP 2 449 782, which relates to the signalling of intra prediction information in video encoding and bitstreams.
Disney’s counterclaim for revocation failed, as the patent was found not to contain added matter and the claims were held to be both novel and inventive over the cited prior art.
