TiVo sues AT&T, Verizon over DVR patents
,----[ Quote ]
| TiVo said Wednesday that it is suing AT&T and Verizon over three DVR patents.
| The complaints seek damages and a permanent injunction.
|
| Simply put, TiVo is pursuing the same legal playbook it followed against
| Dish/EchoStar. The patents in question include 6,233,389, 7,529,465 and
| 7,493,015.

TiVo's rebound
,----[ Quote ]
| Off and on for the past six years I've been an armchair quarterback for TiVo
| telling them they should do anything and everything to become profitable,
| among other things: they should offer pay-per-view downloads (I asked for
| this in 2002), they should broker deals with cable companies, that they
| should release software for PCs, that they should move to international
| markets, and that while I'm not a fan of software patents in general I feel
| the TiVo patents are original and worth fighting.
|
| What I realized this week is that TiVo has spent the past couple years
| starting battles on all these fronts, and it looks like (at least to this
| outside observer) like TiVo is winning on all fronts. Even as their CEO
| admits more people are using DVRs and skipping lots of ads, I'd say TiVo is
| doing well.

DirecTV Strikes Deal to Offer TiVo Recorder
,----[ Quote ]
| Another change is that TiVo won a key lawsuit against Dish Networks. In that
| lawsuit, a federal court ruled that Dishâs recording devices infringe TiVo
| software patents. In fact, a hearing begins Thursday in federal district
| court in the Eastern District of Texas on how the penalties against Dish will
| be enforced.
