TiVo Patent Suit Advances on Federal Court Denial of Echostar
Motions
- Mar 9, 2005 05:16 PM (PR Newswire)
ALVISO, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TiVo Inc.
(Nasdaq: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital
video recorders (DVRs), today announced that the federal district court for
the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division has denied motions to dismiss
and transfer TiVo's patent infringement case against Echostar Communications
Corporation (ECC) and affiliated companies. In that case, TiVo has alleged
that ECC and certain subsidiaries are violating a key TiVo patent (U.S. Patent
No. 6,233,389 issued to TiVo in May 2001, known as the "Time Warp" patent).
The defendants had sought to transfer the case out of Texas, and two of the
defendants argued that they were not subject to jurisdiction in Texas. The
Court denied both motions.
Key TiVo inventions protected by this patent include a method for
recording one program while playing back another; watching a show as it is
recording; and a storage format that supports advanced capabilities -- such as
pausing live television, fast-forwarding, rewinding, instant replays, and slow
motion.
