Videotron Found to Infringe Adeia’s Media Patents
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA), the company whose innovations shape the way the world explores and experiences entertainment, today announced that the Federal Court of Canada has issued a favorable judgment in its patent infringement litigation against Videotron Ltd.
On October 24, 2025, the Honorable Madam Justice Gagné awarded Adeia a permanent injunction, finding that Videotron’s Helix, illico+ and illico video platforms infringe an Adeia media patent. The Federal Court also ruled that Videotron’s Helix video platform infringes an additional Adeia media patent and awarded Adeia damages for both patents. Two other patents asserted in the case were found invalid.

Adeia’s patented innovations have enabled key capabilities that define how consumers experience content today. We will continue to vigorously defend our patent portfolio and ensure that the value of our pioneering work continues to be recognized and respected.”
The full decision remains subject to confidentiality restrictions. A public version of the ruling is expected to be issued shortly. The parties have until late November to file a notice of appeal.
