Based on the search results:

1. PTAB Case IPR2026-00055:
My search for "IPR2026-00055 US patent 9860595 PTAB" did not directly yield specific details about the plaintiff, defendant, or filing date for this exact case beyond what was stated in the patent document itself (Procedural Termination). The search results discuss PTAB cases in general and recent updates to PTAB policy, but do not provide specific information for IPR2026-00055. This suggests that while the patent mentions its existence and outcome, detailed public records for this specific IPR may not be readily available through general search or it might be a very recent filing where full details aren't yet widely indexed in public summaries.

Given the current date of April 26, 2026, and the case number IPR2026-00055, the "2026" indicates it was filed in the current fiscal year. The "Procedural Termination" suggests it did not proceed to a final written decision on the merits.

2. US Case in Delaware District Court (1:24-cv-01231):
The search results provide substantial information for this case.

• Plaintiff(s): Adeia Technologies Inc., Adeia Guides Inc., and Adeia Media Holdings LLC
• Defendant(s): The Walt Disney Company, Disney Media And Entertainment Distribution LLC, Disney DTC LLC, Disney Streaming Services LLC, Disney Entertainment & Sports LLC, Disney Platform Distribution, Inc., BAMtech, LLC, Hulu, LLC, and ESPN, Inc.
• Jurisdiction: United States District Court for the District of Delaware
• Case Number: 1:24-cv-01231
• Filing Date: November 7, 2024
• Outcome or Current Status: An Order was issued on September 12, 2025, in response to the Defendants' Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss Counts III and IV (which included claims related to US9860595 and 10,165,324) arguing patent ineligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The Court found it inappropriate to address the patent eligibility of all claims of the '595 Patent and '324 Patent at the motion to dismiss stage, especially since only "one or more claims" were asserted, and no counterclaims of invalidity were filed challenging all claims. The case is ongoing litigation.
