Trident signs IP license deal
Trident said it agreed to license its motion estimation and motion compensation (MEMC) video processing technology to multimedia SoC vendor Sunplus Technology Co. Ltd. Financial terms of the royalty-based license agreement were not disclosed.
Trident (Sunnyvale, CA) said the non-exclusive patent licensing deal is part of the company’s ongoing effort to make a limited number of licenses for its MEMC patent portfolio available to TV OEMs and consumer electronics semiconductor providers.
This is the second patent license agreement that Trident has announced for its MEMC patents. Earlier this year, the company announced a licensing agreement with Taiwan’s MStar Semiconductor Inc. covering part of Trident’s MEMC portfolio.
According to Trident, MEMC technology has become a de facto standard by enabling superior picture quality when displaying high-definition and 3-D video on televisions, computer monitors, tablet computers and other video-enabled consumer electronics devices.
Trident claims a portfolio of patents relating to MEMC, demodulators, audio, video, television interfaces, 3-D, conditional access and general semiconductor circuit technology.
