ADEA

Adeia Inc.

A maker of nothing sold in stores, Adeia earns money by licensing thousands of patents covering how we watch TV and how computer chips are packed. Its roots trace to Tessera, founded in 1990, and it spun off in 2022 from Xperi, inheriting the iconic TiVo DVR patents along the way. The name comes from the ancient Greek word meaning "without fear."
