Haivision Network Video Inc.

Company overview. Haivision Network Video Inc. is the U.S. operating entity of Haivision Systems Inc. (TSX: HAI), a Canadian live-video networking company. Its U.S. headquarters is at 750 Estate Drive, Deerfield, Illinois; the parent is headquartered at 2600 Alfred-Nobel Blvd., Montréal, Québec, and reports Montreal and Chicago as its dual head offices. The public parent was founded in April 2004 by Miroslav "Mirko" Wicha and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in December 2020; the U.S. subsidiary is a Delaware corporation, federally registered since 2003 and self-certified as foreign-owned with fewer than 500 employees. Haivision Systems reports roughly 375–392 employees and fiscal 2025 revenue of CAD 137.6 million, with a market capitalization around CAD 120 million.

Products / services. Haivision builds hardware and software for low-latency, high-reliability IP video. Product lines include the Makito encoder/decoder series (including ruggedized X1/X4 units), the Kraken video transcoder, the Falkon family of 5G mobile video transmitters, the Haivision Media Platform for secure enterprise and DoDIN APL–certified video distribution, Haivision Command 360 video-wall software for operations centers, and cloud services such as Haivision Hub and Connect. The company open-sourced the SRT streaming protocol in 2017 and founded the SRT Alliance. Customers span broadcast, defense/ISR, enterprise, education, and medical markets; Haivision is a U.S. federal contractor (CAGE 3MSD7).

Patent-litigation posture. Haivision appears in the tracked data only as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 5 defendant cases). All five entries are the same matter: Realtime Adaptive Streaming LLC v. Haivision Network Video Inc., filed October 26, 2017 in the District of Delaware (C.A. No. 1:17-cv-01520). Realtime Adaptive Streaming is a non-practicing entity — Echosar/DISH SEC filings describe it as "an entity that seeks to license an acquired patent portfolio without itself practicing any of the claims recited therein" — so this is an operating company defending against an NPE. The venue is Delaware, not the Eastern District of Texas, though Realtime filed parallel suits in both districts that year.

Notable context. Realtime asserted the "Fallon patents" ('046, '462, '477, '535, '907, '298) plus the '442 patent, all directed to adaptive video/audio data compression. Haivision moved to dismiss on § 101 grounds, and the court issued a report and recommendation addressing the Fallon patents alongside Realtime's related Netflix, Brightcove, and Sony cases. The '535 patent was later invalidated in separate IPRs brought by Netflix and Google (January 2020), and Realtime's litigation against DISH/Sling produced an invalidity ruling and, initially, a fee award.
