InterTrust Technologies Corporation announced that Tencent has licensed its trusted suite of Marlin DRM solutions to protect video streams and downloads on Tencent's online video platform in China. Under the agreement, Tencent's online video platform will use Intertrust's complete suite of Marlin client and server software SDKs for content protection and software tamper resistance technology from Intertrust's whiteCryption subsidiary for software protection. Intertrust is the only third-party provider of comprehensive solutions for integrating Marlin DRM functionality into devices and services. Marlin DRM is an open standard for digital rights management that was founded by Intertrust and a group of major consumer electronics companies in 2005. It is now extensively shipped around the world and is selected as the content protection technology for national IPTV initiatives in Asia and across Europe.

InterTrust Technologies Corporation and HTC Corporation announced a broad strategic technology partnership. HTC joins many of the world's leading handset manufacturers in licensing Intertrust's patents, securing worldwide access to Intertrust's fundamental patent portfolio in trusted distributed computing and digital rights management (DRM). Further, as a part of HTC's ongoing efforts to create comprehensive mobile experiences for consumers, it has acquired 20% of Intertrust's SyncTV subsidiary. SyncTV is a cloud-based video service that delivers video over the Internet to a broad set of devices, including Android, Windows Phone, XBOX, iOS and Internet-enabled televisions. HTC has also licensed Intertrust's broadly deployed open standards based Marlin DRM software. Marlin DRM is used to protect and manage content in various national video distribution ecosystems in Japan, China and Europe.
