Primarily focused on end-to-end video, streaming, and cloud technologies, VL Collective IP acquires patents originating from some of the world's most recognizable and inventive companies. The portfolio is currently comprised of more than 150 assets worldwide with original assignees such as Samsung, LG, Ericsson, Panasonic, Siemens, HP, and Nokia, among others, and continues to grow.
VL Collective IP's assets trace their roots to global innovators including Nokia, Siemens, Ericsson, Panasonic, Eastman Kodak, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Alcatel-Lucent, Samsung, LG Electronics, and Swisscom, among others. Every patent was hand-selected and acquired through a disciplined, due diligence process and rigorously vetted for quality, validity, and relevance, ensuring a litigation-grade foundation built on the research and development investments of these industry leaders.
The portfolio comprises more than 150 granted patents across 50+ patent families. This includes primarily U.S. patents and European patents in Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, with additional grants across key international jurisdictions such as Japan, China, and Korea. Among these assets is a focused set of video related patents, complemented by a curated selection of cloud compute patents.
The portfolio provides broad, end-to-end coverage of the technologies that power the creation, management, delivery, and consumption of digital media, spanning video encoding and decoding (including H.264/AVC and MPEG-DASH), video processing, and streaming, through content delivery networks, content security and conditional access, and digital rights management. Its reach extends across the adjacent high-tech ecosystem, with significant holdings in cloud computing and virtualization. This diversity in both origin and covered technology gives the portfolio depth and breadth across handsets, laptops, smart TVs, streaming devices, set-top boxes, cloud services, and the wider connected-device landscape.
