Company Overview

Adeia Inc. (NASDAQ: ADEA) is a technology licensing company that focuses on acquiring, managing and monetizing intellectual property assets in the electronics and communications sectors. The company’s core business involves the strategic purchase of patent portfolios followed by the negotiation of licensing agreements, collaborative partnerships and, where necessary, enforcement actions to generate revenue from those assets. Adeia’s technology coverage spans semiconductor design, data communications, wireless networking, imaging systems and other advanced electronics applications.

By assembling a diversified collection of high-value patent families, Adeia works closely with original equipment manufacturers, semiconductor suppliers and service providers across North America, Europe and Asia. The company structures licensing programs to align with each partner’s product roadmaps and market objectives, seeking to build long-term royalty streams while managing the costs and complexities of patent assertion. This approach enables Adeia to derive value from innovation without engaging directly in research, development or product manufacturing.

Adeia’s operational framework includes ongoing portfolio optimization through technical due diligence, market assessments and targeted patent acquisitions. Headquartered in the United States, the company is led by a management team with extensive backgrounds in both technology development and intellectual property commercialization. Through its disciplined licensing strategy and emphasis on high-quality assets, Adeia aims to generate sustainable returns for shareholders by unlocking value from established inventions in key technology areas.
