Multiview Video Campaign Pivots Back from TV Makers to Streaming Apps

July 23, 2022

In January 2021, InnoBrilliance, LLC kicked off its second campaign, suing Sony over the provision of video streaming apps for Playstation and Apple TV devices that allow users to watch multiple channels at once. Subsequent suits focused on makers of smart TVs offering such a “multiview” feature, including those from Samsung, LG Electronics (LGE), and Hisense.
