## Overview

Adeia Inc. is a technology company focused on developing and licensing intellectual property for the media, entertainment, consumer electronics and semiconductor industries. Its media technologies support how people search, discover, stream and interact with content; its semiconductor portfolio includes hybrid bonding and advanced processing and packaging technologies. [1](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P35173554)[2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P89793749)[3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P4766803)

The company licenses its technologies to a broad range of media distributors, streaming providers, device makers and semiconductor businesses, with a portfolio of approximately 13,750 patent assets worldwide. Adeia describes its mission as inventing, developing and licensing innovations that advance how people live, work and play.

## Products & services

Adeia’s offerings are primarily licensed intellectual property rather than branded consumer products. Its Media IP covers technologies used to search, save, stream, discover, consume, personalize and interact with content across linear television, OTT and social video, as well as adjacent markets including consumer electronics, e-commerce, automotive and gaming. [3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P4766803)[9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P47660710)[2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P89793749)

Its Semiconductor IP includes patented technology and know-how for logic and memory devices, advanced processing nodes and packaging, thermal management, RapidCool™, co-optimization and microLEDs. A named platform is DBI® Ultra, a low-temperature die-to-wafer and die-to-die hybrid-bonding technology designed to stack dies of differing sizes, process nodes, wafer sizes and materials for 2.5D, 3D and 3.5D integration. [10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P64056917)[11](https://adeia.com/semiconductor/dbi-ultra) Adeia also identifies media-related IP in areas such as AI, search and recommendation, imaging and video, and content personalization and discovery. [12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P32091354)[13](https://adeia.com/media/technology)

The company licenses its IP through variable-based royalties and fixed-fee arrangements; semiconductor licenses may also use minimum guarantees. Adeia describes ongoing R&D and industry collaboration, but its filings do not separately identify a fee-based consulting or engineering-services business. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P89793749)[14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147104215)[15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P22406513) Adeia reports one IP Licensing segment and does not disclose Media-versus-Semiconductor revenue as a percentage of performance in the cited materials.

## Geographic presence

Adeia’s reported revenue is weighted toward the U.S. In the first half of 2026, revenue by customer billing address was $157.3 million from the U.S. (78% of total), $35.0 million from Asia (17%), $7.2 million from Europe and the Middle East (4%), and $1.0 million from Other (1%); Canada contributed $0.5 million, shown as a dash in the filing’s percentage column. For full-year 2025, revenue was $363.1 million from the U.S. (82%), $55.8 million from Asia (13%), $12.4 million from Canada (3%), $10.2 million from Europe and the Middle East (2%), and $1.9 million from Other (0%). The filings report regional rather than individual-country revenue for Asia and Europe and the Middle East. [17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P147104406)[18](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1803696/000119312526335038/adea-20260630.htm)[19](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1803696/000119312526076549/adea-20251231.htm)

At December 31, 2025, Adeia reported approximately 150 full-time employees, substantially all located in the U.S.; it did not disclose employee counts by region or country. Its disclosed leased facilities include its San Jose, California headquarters (62,000 square feet), a Burbank, California office (about 5,336 square feet), and a Morrisville, North Carolina facility (about 2,737 square feet).

## Business segments

Adeia Inc. reports one operating and reportable segment: **IP Licensing**. The company describes media and semiconductor licensing as activities within that segment, not as separately reported segments. [21](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P26246907)[22](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P15367403)

Within IP Licensing, media licensing covers its media patent portfolio for multichannel video distributors, OTT video services, consumer-electronics makers, social-media businesses and other new-media companies. Semiconductor licensing covers technologies and patents for memory, logic, sensor, radio-frequency component and foundry businesses. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P89793749)

For FY2025, IP Licensing represented **100% of reported revenue**, or $443.386 million, because it is Adeia’s sole reportable segment. Adeia does not separately report revenue for media versus semiconductor licensing, so their individual contribution percentages cannot be determined from the reported figures.

## Company history

Adeia’s history draws on two principal predecessor businesses. Tessera, a predecessor of its semiconductor IP business, was founded in 1990. [23](https://investor.xperi.com/news/news-details/2017/Tessera-Holding-Corporation-Announces-Name-Change-to-Xperi-Corporation/default.aspx) The media-IP lineage includes Macrovision’s 2008 acquisition of Gemstar-TV Guide and the company’s subsequent use of the Rovi name. [24](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1027443/000119312507260825/dex991.htm) [25](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1424454/000142445409000017/ex99-1q2.htm) In 2015, Tessera agreed to acquire Ziptronix, bringing wafer-bonding technology into its semiconductor portfolio. [26](https://investor.xperi.com/news/news-details/2015/Tessera-to-Acquire-Ziptronix-Inc-for-39-Million/default.aspx) In 2016, Rovi completed its acquisition of TiVo, and Tessera completed its acquisition of DTS. [27](https://investor.xperi.com/news/news-details/2016/Rovi-Completes-Acquisition-of-TiVo-New-TiVo-Poised-to-Lead-Media-and-Entertainment-Transformation/default.aspx) [28](https://investor.xperi.com/news/news-details/2016/Tessera-Completes-Acquisition-of-DTS/default.aspx)

Xperi and TiVo agreed to an all-stock merger in 2019, which closed in June 2020, forming Xperi Holding Corporation. [29](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P3151942) [30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P175618340) In February 2022, Xperi Holding introduced Adeia as the brand for its IP-licensing business. On October 1, 2022, the product business separated as Xperi Inc.; Xperi Holding retained the IP-licensing business and changed its name to Adeia Inc.
