Despite The Walt Disney Company’s status as a controlling shareholder of FuboTV, Adeia clarified that its prior settlement and licensing agreement with Disney is separate from the current claims against FuboTV. The company underscored that this lawsuit is a distinct matter concerning FuboTV’s alleged unauthorized use of Adeia’s patented technologies.
