TiVo Wins Again
In the ring you see two weary and bruised competitors, TiVo and EchoStar. They've been locked in a cage match for about three years now over a patent infringement.
TiVo claims they have a patent on the technology they use on their set-top boxes that allows viewers to record a show while watching another and that EchoStar is using that technology on their own digital recording devices.
EchoStar, on the other hand, claims they had their engineers design their technology around TiVo's patent so they wouldn't be in violation.
So in this second court hearing a judge has yet again ruled in favor of TiVo. To read more about this topic visit BusinessWeek.
Ok readers, I read an article today where EchoStar has been granted a temporary stay of injunction. Read the article at http://www.mediabiz.com/news/articles/?edit_id=11800.
