March 2010
Verimatix and Widevine announced that they settled their patent lawsuit. In August 2007, Widevine filed a lawsuit against Verimatrix alleging that its products infringed two of Widevine patents. The company has now granted Verimatrix a license that covers the patents. Verimatrix said the settlement has no material bearing on the company, but would not say whether it had to pay Widevine any licensing fees.
