(PR) Samsung Sued for Infringement of HEVC Essential Patent

MPEG LA announced today that enforcement actions have been brought in Landgericht Dsseldorf, Germany against Samsung Electronics GmbH ("Samsung") for infringement of patents in MPEG LA's HEVC Patent Portfolio License. The patents are essential to the HEVC (also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2) digital video coding standard used in products that encode and decode video for Internet, television and mobile transmission, reception and use.

According to the complaints, Samsung Electronics GmbH's parent Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. was both Licensor and Licensee to MPEG LA's HEVC Patent Portfolio License from Fall 2014 until terminating in March 2020, but Samsung has continued to offer products including smartphones, tablets and televisions in Germany that use patent protected HEVC methods without license since termination. The enforcement actions seeking injunctions, monetary damages and expenses were prepared by a team of lawyers led by Axel Verhauwen of Krieger Mes & Graf v. der Groeben and Gottfried Schll of Cohausz & Florack.
