NEW YORK
, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Pacira BioSciences, Inc. (“Pacira” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PCRX) of a class action securities lawsuit.

CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Pacira investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud between August 2, 2023 and August 8, 2024. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:

https://zlk.com/pslra-1/pacira-biosciences-inc-lawsuit-submission-form?prid=132653&wire=4

PCRX investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

CASE DETAILS: According to the complaint, on August 9, 2024, Pacira issued a press release announcing the results of its lawsuit against eVenus for patent infringement. Pacira disclosed that the court “found that the company’s U.S. Patent No. 11,033,495 (the ‘495 patent) is not valid,” and, thus, eVenus is not infringing on anything. Pacira’s ‘495 patent is for Exparel, which is the main source of growth for the Company, encapsulating roughly 80% of its revenue. Analysts have noted that the invalidity of the ‘495 patent calls into question the validity of the Company’s other patents, potentially resulting in more generic entrants into the market and increased litigation expenses moving forward.  Following this news, Pacira’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $22.36 per share on August 8, 2024, Pacira’s stock price fell to a low of $11.70 per share on August 9, 2024, a decline of over 47% in a single day.

WHAT’S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Pacira during the relevant time frame, you have until March 14, 2025 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.

BEIJING
, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — iQIYI, China’s leading online entertainment platform, participated in the first China TV Drama Production Industry Conference and the 10th China International TV Drama Program Trade Fair in Shenzhen in last week. iQIYI Founder and CEO Yu GONG delivered a keynote speech at the conference, emphasizing the company’s “viewer-centric approach” in response to evolving consumption patterns. “Success in our industry goes beyond content length, cast influence, production budgets, or the latest AI and virtual production technologies,” Gong stated. “The most crucial aspect is respecting the creative process, valuing content creators, understanding audience preferences, managing resources efficiently, and leveraging innovation to deliver premium content. Ultimately, putting viewers at the center of everything we do is what matters most.”

Strategic Expansion of Mini-Drama Ecosystem

As the content and entertainment industry continues to transform, iQIYI shared content strategies that include serialized long-form dramas, premium short-form content, and industrialized mini-dramas, along with its technological innovations aimed at enhancing production capabilities.

During a keynote speech on emerging content formats, iQIYI Senior Vice President Haitao YANG outlined the company’s strategic initiatives in response to growing market demand for concise storytelling. Highlighting the expansion of its mini and short dramas ecosystem, Yang detailed two key programs – the “Thousand Mini-Dramas Initiative” and “Hundred Short-Dramas Initiative,” which are being implemented across two distinct content theaters.

The “Mini-Drama Theater” focuses on mobile-optimized vertical content of 1-3 minutes per episode, covering genres from romance to suspense while the “Short-Drama Theater” features horizontal format content of 5-20 minutes per episode, emphasizing premium period dramas and urban storylines.

Leveraging iQIYI’s established expertise in long-form video content production, the company has achieved breakthroughs in this segment, with its mini-drama portfolio now surpassing 10,000 titles and capturing 95% of the leading mini-drama content providers in the market. The company reached a significant milestone in December 2024 when the platform’s first mini-drama generated over RMB 1 million (US$0.14 million) in revenue-sharing income.

iQIYI has also revamped its Apps to improve users’ viewing experience recently. While iQIYI’s main app continues to focus on long-form video with membership-based revenue models, iQIYI Lite app has been strategically repositioned to primarily feature free mini-dramas supported by advertising. Recent data indicates the format’s growing popularity, with mini-drama viewing time on the main app now rivaling that of animation, kids’ content, and variety shows. On iQIYI Lite app, mini-dramas have secured the second position in viewership, surpassed only by traditional long-form dramas.

Virtual Production Technology Elevates Content Production

At the conference, iQIYI Vice President Liang ZHU highlighted the company’s cutting-edge advancements in virtual production technology, which have been actively implemented across its robust portfolio of long-form dramas, where iQIYI has secured the highest viewership market share in both Q4 and throughout the full year of 2024, according to data from Enlightent.

For example, the original drama “My Journey to You” achieved a remarkable 30% increase in production efficiency through virtual filming techniques, while “Fangs of Fortune” pioneered large-scale water surface reflection in virtual filming in China. With virtual production elements comprising 16% of its total production, “Fangs of Fortune” stands as one of the most technically sophisticated and extensive virtual productions in China to date.

Zhu explained how these innovations are becoming a mainstream trend in the industry, with leading content platforms and IP owners achieving significant improvements in both efficiency and quality through virtual production and reusable digital assets.

To stay at the forefront, iQIYI has made substantial infrastructure investments, including the recent completion of a 2,500-square-meter flagship virtual studio that meets world-class standards of excellence. Additionally, its self-developed IQ Stage virtual production platform integrates over 20 patented technologies, enabling sophisticated real-and-virtual integration effects that deliver exceptional visual experiences to global audiences.
