Hisense Sued for Infringement of AVC Essential Patents
23.11.2020 17:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
MPEG LA announced today that patent owners in MPEG LA’s AVC Patent Portfolio License have filed patent enforcement actions in the Landgericht Düsseldorf, Germany against Hisense Germany GmbH ("Hisense") for infringing patents essential to the AVC/H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) digital video coding standard used in mobile devices, televisions and other products.
According to the complaints, Hisense offers television products in Germany, which use patent protected AVC methods without licenses with the individual patent holders or a portfolio license that includes these patents offered by MPEG LA. The suits seek monetary damages and injunctions.
The plaintiffs are represented by a team led by Axel Verhauwen of Krieger Mes & Graf v. der Groeben and Gottfried Schüll of Cohausz & Florack.

Experian Brings Trusted Agentic AI to Financial Services With the Launch of Agent Operating System™2.6.2026 16:05:00 EEST | Press release
Experian today announces the launch of the Agent Operating System™, a trusted agentic AI layer within the Experian Ascend Platform, unveiled at Money20/20 Europe. The Experian Agent Operating System is designed to help financial services organisations move successfully beyond AI experimentation and safely scale agentic AI to transform decision-making, customer experiences, and day-to-day operations. It enables AI agents from Experian, clients and partners to work together through a common trust, semantic and orchestration layer, supported by clear controls, auditability and human oversight. The launch comes as financial services firms accelerate investment in AI but continue to face major barriers to scaling adoption. New Experian research* shows that nearly half of global organisations (48%), say integrating data into AI workflows remains difficult, while a third cite poor data lineage and a further third say data is siloed across teams and systems.

High Q Technologies and Creative Biostructure Announce Strategic Partnership Expanding Global Access to Quantum-Enabled EPR Spectroscopy2.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
High Q Technologies, a developer of quantum-enabled electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy systems, and Creative Biostructure, a structural biology Contract Research Organization, today announced a strategic partnership to support broader adoption of EPR spectroscopy for studying protein dynamics in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. EPR spectroscopy is increasingly relevant as drug discovery turns toward disordered, flexible, and disease‑relevant protein systems that cannot be fully understood through static structural methods alone. However, broad adoption of EPR has historically been limited by instrument and workflow complexity, and the need for dedicated technical expertise in experimental design and data interpretation. Leveraging quantum sensor technology, FATHOM® EPR has overcome these challenges. By providing unique measurements of long‑range distances, FATHOM® EPR enables researchers to probe conformational ensembles and molecular motion implicated in toda
