A UK court has ordered WBD to make an interim license payment to Nokia, with a trial in late 2026 to determine the full royalty rate for essential video streaming patents. This creates an unquantifiable financial risk that could compress margins for its streaming services.
Filing excerpt
In June 2026, the Court determined that WBD is required to make an interim license payment to Nokia during the pendency of the litigation, which includes refundable and non-refundable components, and trial is currently scheduled for late 2026.
