The BD4C Licensing Group has changed its name to PREMIER BD. PREMIER BD consists of six leaders in technology research and development: Columbia Technology Ventures, Disney Enterprises, Mitsubishi Electric, Technicolor, Toshiba, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

PREMIER BD offers a worldwide "portfolio" license for Blu-ray and DVD patents essential to make, use and sell BD decoders, BD encoders, BD players, BD read-only discs, BD recordable discs, BD drives, BD/DVD hybrid discs, and BD recorders, including BD Products that incorporate BD functionality.
