Adeia Inc.

Adeia Inc. is an intellectual property licensing company that was separated from Xperi in 2022 and now operates as a standalone public company focused on monetizing patents rather than selling hardware or consumer products. Its portfolio spans media, entertainment, consumer electronics, and semiconductor technologies, with licensing relationships that can include patents, know-how, and other foundational IP rights. The company describes itself as an innovation incubator, investing in R&D and patent acquisition to extend its addressable markets and protect its licensing base. Adeia’s technologies are used across streaming, connected devices, and semiconductor manufacturing, including areas relevant to AI infrastructure and advanced packaging.
