Business

Dolby Laboratories invents and licenses audio and video technologies that enable content creators, distributors, and consumer electronics manufacturers to capture, transmit, and playback high-quality entertainment. The company derives most revenue from licensing branded audio and video codecs (DD+, Dolby AC-4, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision) and standard-essential patents (AAC, AVC, HEVC) to approximately 1,000 device manufacturers globally, and generates smaller revenue from cinema hardware, services, and software products. Primary end markets include broadcast, mobile devices, consumer electronics, personal computers, and gaming, with geographic reach across more than 20 sales offices worldwide.
