Litigation summary

As of April 26, 2026, there are two known litigation cases involving US Patent 10165324:

1. District Court Litigation

   • Plaintiff(s): Adeia Technologies Inc. et al. (also Adeia Guides Inc. and Adeia Media Holdings Inc. are listed as plaintiffs in the initial filing)
   • Defendant(s): The Walt Disney Company et al. (including Disney Streaming Services LLC, Disney Platform Distribution, Inc., and Disney Entertainment & Sports LLC)
   • Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware
   • Case Number: 1:24-cv-01231
   • Filing Date: November 7, 2024
   • Outcome/Current Status: The case is ongoing. On September 12, 2025, the court denied the Defendants' motion to dismiss without prejudice to renew, finding it inappropriate to address patent eligibility of all claims at that stage. The court also noted that it's not an efficient use of time to address patent eligibility at the motion to dismiss stage, as asserted claims will be narrowed through discovery. The lawsuit alleges infringement of six patents, including 10165324, related to video streaming technology, episode progress tracking, and cloud data storage, by Disney's streaming services (Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+). Adeia is seeking monetary damages and an injunction.

2. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Inter Partes Review (IPR)

   • Case Number: IPR2026-00056 (Please note: The provided Google Patent link indicates "PTAB case IPR2026-00056 filed (Procedural Termination)". However, the Unified Patents portal and USPTO PTAB data, which were searched for current information, do not explicitly list US10165324 under IPR2026-00056 with a detailed outcome as of the current date of April 26, 2026. The information from Google Patents suggests a "Procedural Termination" for IPR2026-00056, but further details on the specifics of this termination concerning US10165324 are not readily available in the search results from the PTAB trackers at this time. Without more specific data from the PTAB sites directly linking IPR2026-00056 to patent 10165324 with an outcome, I cannot provide more details.)
   • Status: "Procedural Termination" according to the Google Patents link. Further details such as petitioner, owner, or specific outcome beyond "Procedural Termination" were not found in the live search results.
