Broadcom said the German Federal Patent Court issued a
preliminary opinion finding that the company's patent related to
high-efficiency video coding is valid, the latest development in
Broadcom's patent dispute with Netflix.
The European patent, related to H.265 video coding, is at the
heart of an injunction issued in September by the District Court of
Munich, which said Netflix infringes the patent when it transmits
Ultra HD video.
Broadcom said it has filed a motion with the Munich Court
seeking penalties for Netflix's lack of compliance with the
injunction. The patent dispute between Broadcom and Netflix
stretches back to 2018.
Representatives for Netflix didn't immediately respond to a
request for comment.
