A Consumer and Content Focused Intellectual Property Portfolio
Traditional content protection solutions are value chain centric—focused on tightly binding the video distribution systems and device to a particular CAS or DRM vendor. In contrast, Widevine has separated the dependence on the distribution system, network and device. This content and consumer centric approach enables video operators the freedom to deliver premium multimedia content to any device, anywhere, and at anytime using a single, patented content protection solution.
Today’s global entertainment industry requires unique methods of content protection that are covered by Widevine’s intellectual property portfolio
The claims found in Widevine’s intellectual property portfolio (IPR) are fundamental to how content protection must function in today’s consumer and content focused marketplace.
It includes a wide range of digital rights management (DRM), downloadable conditional access (DCAS), real-time piracy detection, forensic watermarking, media tracking and renewable client security capabilities. All of these techniques are required to control the distribution of broadcast, VOD, streamed media, file downloads and progressive downloads—across content delivery and peer-to-peer networks.
Comprised of 36 issued U.S. and international patents, with approximately 1371 claims, Widevine’s portfolio offers consumer device manufacturers, service operators and content owners the ability to operate freely in a patent laden world of content protection. Widevine also has approximately 63 other patents pending worldwide.
