SHENZHEN, China , Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 26, 2024 , Access Advance LLC ("AA") and TCL Electronics Holdings Limited ("TCL" or "Client") announced that TCL had officially joined the HEVC Advance Patent Pool as a licensee. PurpleVine IP Group ("PurpleVine") played a pivotal role in this achievement, providing full-spectrum services, including strategic planning, global litigation management, and licensing negotiation support. PurpleVine's efforts were instrumental in helping TCL finalize agreements with AA and multiple HEVC Advance licensors, resolving years of complex global litigation over HEVC standard-essential patents("SEPs"). Since 2021, leading HEVC Advance licensors - including Dolby, GEVC, Philips, Mitsubishi Electric, JVCKENWOOD, NEC, ETRI, and IP Bridge - have filed dozens of infringement lawsuits and sought injunctions against TCL across jurisdictions such as Germany , the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Europe , and Brazil . PurpleVine provided TCL with a comprehensive defense strategy tailored to each jurisdiction. Working closely with local counsel, the PurpleVine team devised FRAND-compliant arguments, non-infringement defenses, and patent invalidation strategies that not only neutralized injunction threats but also achieved an outstanding success rate of over 90% in invalidating asserted patents during first-instance rulings. PurpleVine also spearheaded counteractions against AA and HEVC Advance licensors in multiple jurisdictions, including China , Brazil , and Germany . Notably, PurpleVine assisted TCL in filing two landmark cases in Chinese courts - one challenging SEP licensing rates and another alleging abuse of market dominance. These cases were the first in the world where courts asserted jurisdiction over SEP pool licensing rates and alleged monopolistic practices, setting a groundbreaking legal precedent. Daniel Fu , General Counsel of TCL, stated, "We are pleased to have signed a license with Access Advance's HEVC patent pool, with the help of PurpleVine IP. The transaction is beneficial to the licensing ecosystem and the development of cutting-edge technologies for the welfare of consumers." This multi-jurisdictional case, involving complex legal challenges, spanning several years, highlights PurpleVine's expertise in managing high-stakes IP disputes. PurpleVine's strategic leadership, effective litigation management, and skilled negotiations reaffirm its position as a leading provider of cross-border intellectual property services.

Nearly seven years ago, when Jessie Pocock became executive director and CEO of Inside Out Youth Services, which supports LGBTQ+ youths in Colorado Springs, she oversaw one full-time and one part-time employee, a budget of $250,000 and a handful of programs for teens. When she exits the role at the end of this month, she’ll leave the organization with 19 paid staff, a budget topping $2.2 million, dozens of programs and an expanded community center that is experiencing record client growth. “It continues to be a challenging time for these young people, the rhetoric around being LGBTQ in schools and maybe in their homes is hard and impactful,” Pocock said. “If they're not feeling respected, loved and heard, they know they can come to Inside Out and get that, and it helps them go back to school or wherever.” Pocock’s leadership since 2018 has been “transformative and inspirational,” said Inside Out board member Dom Angiollo. “She’s a visionary in how she’s been able to grow this organization,” he said. “While most other organizations were struggling to survive during the pandemic, and then dealing with post-Club Q, which had a huge impact on the LGBTQ community — despite those two obstacles and traumatic events, she was able to grow the organization.” Pocock turned the setbacks of those events into opportunities, creating new virtual programming and meetups during COVID-19 that have continued today, and improving security after the November 2022 mass shooting at the gay bar, Club Q, to include an on-site guard who teens nicknamed the Knight of the Rainbow Table. And in February, the organization relocated to a much larger space. “We were operating on such a shoestring budget, and my first few years it was really hard to get any funding from anyone,” Pocock said. “I did everything to pull in money to support the programs these young people deserve and need,” she said. “One of the things I recognized right away is not every young person is going to have access to our community center, but if we can change the community we can impact tens of thousands of lives. So we built robust, evidence-based programs in the center to reach them and support them no matter where they are.” Pocock employed the same strategy she’s used with helping LGBTQ+ teens and young adults grapple with issues. She built relationships with funders around the state, with the organization’s clients, who are ages 13-24, and with employees. “We are an organization that’s about young people, and it takes people to build those relationships — which are so protective,” she said. Research shows youths are less likely to use substances, be truant from school, or attempt suicide if they have a trusted adult in their lives, Pocock said. The work of Inside Out also is about “developing and supporting that leadership coming around these young people that share their identities,” she said. “We have such a relentless passionate group of staff who make things happen.” Next door to a former gay nightclub and dance hall, the new Inside Out at 516 W. Colorado Ave. has many rooms, including a Maker Space for hanging out or engaging in the center’s offerings. “As one that seeks to create conditions for young people to thrive, to bring young people together not around alcohol, but around connection and learning, tells us we’re really becoming a true community center especially for young people,” Pocock said. Last year, 232 youth used in-person and virtual programs of Inside Out, with a total of 3,847 visits for everything from activities such as music nights and baking classes, access to an on-site clothing closet and lending library, educational talks, advocacy and social justice projects and health-related programs on suicide prevention and substance abuse. The organization also provided 650 individual therapy sessions with youth last year and offers services such as testing for sexually transmitted infections and connections to find medical providers. Also, Inside Out runs the Safe at Schools Coalition, a group of students, parents, educators, administrators and advocates, collaborate to make schools safer for all students, regardless of sexual orientation, transgender status, gender identity or gender expression. Pocock’s personality has been just the right fit for working with teen clients, Angiollo said. She’s one of those leaders who treats all people she interacts with — even if it’s a brief encounter — as though they have value and they belong, he said. “She has this enthusiasm about her that, no matter what’s going on, no matter what negativity is happening, she has an aura of positivity that makes you feel like there’s still hope and I’m still valued. And given the youth we work with and what they experience outside our community center, that’s so important.” Pocock said she’d “love to stay at the job,” but for the past year and a half she’s faced health issues. As her contract neared expiration, the organization’s board asked her what she planned to do. “In September, I took a medical leave, and I’d been thinking about stepping down,” she said. “I need to focus on getting my health back in order and the organization needed to move forward.” Pocock’s last day is Dec. 31. For now, she’s been assisting with the transition to a new co-director model of leadership that employees proposed. The board selected Angie Hackett-Larson and Stephanie Samora, who had already been working for Inside Out, to serve as co-directors. “They provide a perfect complement to each other with Angie’s strengths focused on operations and programs, while Stephanie’s strengths are in community relations and fundraising,” board members said in a recent letter to supporters announcing the change in leadership. Pocock previously worked as director of the LEAD Foundation, a high school program that supports students who have learning and educational disabilities. What might be next in her career depends on what comes along and feels right, she said, mentioning that she’s also a poet and a writer so might veer in a creative direction. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Pocock said there’s still work to be done to help kids feel safe, connected and comfortable with who they are and how they're treated by society. “Even as young people, they’re wise and understanding that 'It’s not so much about me but about somebody not understanding, and my job is to be a good person and be nice to my friends and good to other people. And hopefully folks will come around to being more supportive.'”Leonardo DRS executive sells $784,810 in stock

Macron names ally Bayrou as new PM as he aims to restore political stabilityMadrid has just been announced as ranking the number 2 best city in Europe to invest in property for 2025. According to a study run by PwC and the Urban Land Institute, this year the Spanish capital moves up from eighth place to second as a great place to invest in property, overtaking Paris. Madrid’s rise in the charts is attributed to solid macro and microeconomic factors, its high quality of life and a proactive approach to fiscal and economic policies. Since José Luis Martínez-Almeida assumed the mayor’s office and Isabel Díaz Ayuso the presidency of the Community of Madrid in 2019, the city has experienced a boom in confidence from international investors. Among the measures that have promoted this growth are: Economic incentives that favour foreign investment . Solid infrastructures, such as an extensive transport network and international connections. Stable demographic growth, bolstered by students, tourists and immigrants. Investments in Madrid boosted by residential and technological sectors The report also highlights that the residential sector, together with digitisation and new technologies, has been crucial to this positive development. Most Read on Euro Weekly News Spanish banks will be forced to report every penny Freezing temperatures for Spain as winter storm blasts Europe Harry and Meghan: German documentary spotlight plus divorce rumours As for business opportunities, the most attractive sectors for investment in 2025, according to the report, will include: Data centres: Madrid leads growth in this area, with a projected capacity to increase by 54 percent in 2024. Energy infrastructure: The development of sustainable solutions is another attractive area for inventors. Student housing and logistics: These segments are booming due to growing demand and a market adapted to the needs of the new generations. Barcelona no longer one of the best places to invest in Europe On the other hand, Barcelona has dropped out of the top 10. This decline is attributed to restrictions on foreign investment and restrictive housing policies in Catalonia. The report shows moderate optimism in European real estate, with 80 percent of respondents expecting business confidence and profits to be maintained or improved. However, the risks associated with political instability, regulation and construction costs are perennial worries. Madrid continues to demonstrate that urban policies, economic attractiveness and quality of life can turn a city into a magnet for investment. With its rise to second place, the Spanish capital consolidates its position as one of the great protagonists of the real estate sector in Europe. Oh, and first place in the ranking? That goes to London, yet again the best place in Europe to invest in property.

The company’s valuation hit $1 trillion on Friday as its shares surged 21% after CEO Hock Tan said AI could present a $60 billion to $90 billion revenue opportunity in 2027, more than four times the current size of the market. Broadcom also forecast first-quarter revenue above estimates on Thursday. Several analysts said it was tough to estimate the market’s growth and Broadcom’s potential share, with TD Cowen noting the prediction is “difficult to prove/disprove, but is huge.” Big Tech’s push to diversify beyond Nvidia’s pricey and supply-constrained AI processors has been a windfall for Broadcom, which makes custom chips for major cloud companies. Investors have also favored chipmakers that are already benefiting from the massive data centers being built by the likes of Microsoft and Meta amid worries about the payoff from AI investments for the wider tech industry. Broadcom CEO Tan said on Thursday the company has won two major hyperscaler customers, after it brought in $12.2 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2024. That represented a major chunk of his estimated total serviceable market of $15 billion to $20 billion. Of the total 2027 opportunity, Broadcom could capture as much as $50 billion in AI sales based on the 70% market share Broadcom estimated it had in 2024, TD Cowen analysts said. But they warned modeling the company’s share was difficult because the serviceable market could include processors sold by the likes of Nvidia. Rosenblatt Securities analyst Hans Mosesmann estimated a much lower market share for Broadcom in 2027 at between 20% and 50%. Investors, meanwhile, scooped up the stock that trades at a lower multiple than rivals. Broadcom has a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 29.8, compared with 31.03 for Nvidia, the first chip firm to hit $1 trillion in market value, according to data compiled by LSEG. “As AI shifts from training models to inference, more and more chip companies will gain an edge on Nvidia. Broadcom is the canary in the coalmine,” said Thomas Hayes, chairman and managing member at Great Hill Capital. Shares of Nvidia and rival AI chipmaker AMD fell about 3%, while Broadcom’s smaller competitor Marvell rose close to 9%. Contract chipmaker TSMC rose 4%. Broadcom’s shares are up more than 60% this year, while Nvidia’s stock has more than doubled, as of last close. The gains eclipse those in major cloud companies, with Microsoft up about 11% this year and Alphabet — seen by analysts as Broadcom’s biggest custom chip customer — rising 40%. “They (Broadcom) went out of their way to give investors a reason to dream,” Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said. “The AI story seems to really be coming into its own, perhaps Hock might think about shopping for a leather jacket,” Rasgon said, referring to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s signature style .
