Company overview. Adeia Media Solutions Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated, wholly owned subsidiary of Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA), a San Jose, California–based intellectual-property licensing company (3025 Orchard Parkway). The entity is the renamed successor to TiVo Solutions Inc.: its roots trace to TiVo Inc. (founded 1997), acquired by Rovi in 2016, folded into Xperi in 2020, and renamed Adeia Media Solutions in 2023. Parent Adeia Inc. was spun off from Xperi Holding Corp. on October 1, 2022; it has ~150 employees, reported ~$376M revenue in 2024, and a market cap of roughly $2.9B (August 2026).
Products / operations. Adeia Media Solutions is a pure IP-licensing vehicle — it has no manufacturing or product operations. It holds media-entertainment patents (interactive program guides, DVR, video streaming and delivery) inherited from TiVo, and, along with sister subsidiaries (Adeia Technologies, Adeia Guides, Adeia Media Holdings), licenses Adeia Inc.'s portfolio of 11,500+ patents/applications to pay-TV operators, OTT/streaming services, consumer-electronics makers, and semiconductor companies. Adeia describes itself as an R&D and licensing platform, not a product company.
Litigation posture. Adeia is an active two-way litigant: it appears once as plaintiff and once as defendant in the tracked data. The plaintiff matter, Adeia Technologies Inc. et al. v. DISH Network Corporation et al. (D. Colo., filed March 31, 2026), asserts five media-portfolio patents against DISH's pay-TV and streaming services (Hopper, DISH Anywhere, Sling TV). The defendant matter, DirecTV, LLC v. Adeia Inc. et al. (N.D. Cal., filed December 29, 2025), is a DIRECTV declaratory-judgment suit seeking non-infringement and invalidity of 10 interactive-TV/program-guide patents after alleged royalty demands. Neither tracked case sits in the Eastern District of Texas; the venues are Colorado and the Northern District of California.
Context. The DISH suit reflects Adeia's push to license OTT/streaming providers after licensing most of the U.S. pay-TV market. The DIRECTV DJ action and a similar DISH DJ action (outside this dataset) show licensees pushing back against the same media portfolio. Adeia's enforcement is self-funded from licensing revenue; it is a large, R&D-backed public licensor rather than a shell PAE.
