TIR Technologies’s Media Campaign Hits Disney

Disney (and its various subsidiaries, including BAMTech, ESPN, fuboTV, and Hulu) (8:25-cv-02652) is the latest defendant to be added to the sole litigation campaign of TIR Technologies Limited, which has seen Amazon, Comcast, and Meta Platforms sued since its start in June 2025. In the new Central District of California complaint, the plaintiff—linked to Dublin-based monetization firm Atlantic IP Services Limited—asserts four patents broadly directed to various aspects of media technologies. Disney is accused of infringement through the provision of the “Disney+, Hulu, Hulu+ Live TV, ESPN+, ESPN Select, ESPN Unlimited, and fuboTV video streaming services using multiple content delivery networks (‘CDNs’), including those of Amazon Web Services”. At issue are features related to media playback, video optimization, and traffic monitoring.
