Texas-based Personalized Media communications, which is having a
seminal intellectual property portfolio, has successfully signed a
patent licensing agreement with Samsung Corporation and its
affiliates.
PMC patent portfolio includes around 100 issued patents and
pending applications that cover the use of control and information
signals to control automated systems for generating and delivering
electronic content to a display that is relevant to a user. Over
the years, PMC is consistently pursuing a license-first approach to
commercializing its intellectual property.
In November 2015 PMC filed suit against Samsung in the Eastern
District of Texas, claiming the electronics maker had infringed
patents related to signal processing. Specifically targeting
Samsung digital televisions and its Android smartphones. In its
complaint, PMC said it had months of discussions in the year
2014-15 about potential license but failed to reach a deal.
