Adeia Inc. (NASDAQ: ADEA) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against DISH Network Corporation and certain affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, the company announced. The complaint alleges DISH infringes five patents from Adeia's media intellectual property portfolio related to core media and pay-TV technologies.

The lawsuit targets patents covering digital television and media distribution technologies, including content discovery and viewing experiences. Adeia stated that its media IP portfolio is licensed across the pay-TV industry, including most leading U.S. providers.

"For decades, DISH and its predecessors have licensed and relied on our foundational technologies to build and enhance their services," said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. "DISH's continued use of our foundational technology without authorization leaves us no choice but to take action."

Davis referenced the company's recent litigation outcomes with Disney and AMD, stating Adeia remains open to a resolution but is prepared to pursue the matter through legal proceedings.

Adeia maintained its full-year 2026 financial outlook, projecting revenue of $395.0 million to $435.0 million. The company expects GAAP operating expenses of $295.0 million to $305.0 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $184.0 million to $192.0 million. GAAP net income is projected at $57.2 million to $80.4 million, while non-GAAP net income is expected between $144.2 million and $168.7 million.

The company's portfolio includes thousands of patents and patent applications worldwide covering digital entertainment, media platforms, and semiconductor solutions technologies.
