InterDigital Wins Preliminary Injunction Against TCL in Brazil Patent Dispute

10:00 AM EDT, 10/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- InterDigital (IDCC) said Tuesday a Brazilian court granted a preliminary injunction against TCL in a patent dispute involving high-efficiency video coding technology. The 3rd Business Court of the Judicial District of the Capital of Rio de Janeiro adopted findings from an independent expert report that found TCL infringed two InterDigital patents and that the patents are essential to the HEVC standard. The court also found that InterDigital's licensing offers met fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory obligations, while TCL's offers were lower by "a different order of magnitude." Under the ruling, TCL must refrain from implementing the HEVC standard in devices it manufactures, imports or offers for sale in Brazil, InterDigital said. TCL did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment. Price: 325.10, Change: +0.84, Percent Change: +0.26
