TiVo, Google Renew, Expand IP License Agreement
Story Highlights
TiVo has renewed and expanded its patent license agreement with Google, providing Google — which has been a licensee since 2012 — with continued, broad coverage under TiVo’s patent portfolios.
TiVo, which is owned by Xperi Holding Corp., said the agreement highlights the company’s continued growth in OTT.
“We are very pleased to conclude this agreement with Google, a world leader in OTT video with YouTube and Google TV, and a top 10 U.S. pay TV provider with YouTube TV,” said Samir Armaly, president of IP licensing for Xperi. “Google has always worked to bring content to the screen that’s most convenient for users. This agreement illustrates the relevance of TiVo’s innovations across all forms of video consumption, from linear to on-demand, and from traditional TV platforms to online and mobile.”
TiVo’s technologies help consumers more easily discover and view content across platforms, the company said.
