Xperi Inc. is a technology licensing and entertainment company that makes software and technology for TVs, cars, and streaming devices. Its main products include TiVo, a well-known brand for TV guides and content discovery, along with audio and imaging technologies licensed to device makers. The company serves consumer electronics manufacturers, pay-TV operators, and automakers around the world.

Xperi makes most of its money by licensing its patents and software to other companies, who pay fees to use Xperi's technology in their products. It operates globally, with customers across North America, Europe, and Asia, and generates roughly $500 million in annual revenue. The TiVo brand and its broad patent portfolio give Xperi some protection against competitors, but the company is currently unprofitable at the operating level, and its key challenge is growing licensing revenue fast enough to cover costs as traditional pay-TV markets shrink.
