On Second Thought... Appeals Court Vacates TiVo's Big Patent Win Over Echostar
,----[ Quote ]
| TiVo's lawsuit against EchoStar for patent
| infringement has been a mostly one-sided
| affair. TiVo appeared to win at every turn, to
| the point that there were stories suggesting
| EchoStar would have to start blocking the use
| of its own DVR. TiVo had celebrated these
| victories by suing others as well, and
| demanding ridiculous sums of money from
| EchoStar. Of course, it seemed odd to us that,
| while all of this was happening, the US Patent
| Office was admitting the patents might not be
| valid. Oops.

Court Won't Move Patent Lawsuit Out Of East Texas, Despite Plaintiff's 'Ephemeral' Connection To Texas
,----[ Quote ]
| As has been discussed plenty of times, a disproportionate number of patent
| lawsuits are filed in East Texas, under the belief that the venue is the
| most friendly to patent holders (there is some debate lately about how
| accurate this is, but either way it remains, by far, the most popular
| place for patent lawsuits). This happened even in cases where there was
| clearly no reason for the case to be heard in Texas. My favorite is
| the story of two San Jose, California companies, whose offices were
| blocks away from each other... who ended up in an East Texas court
| to fight a patent battle. Two years ago, the Federal Circuit suggested
| courts should be more willing to transfer cases that don't really
| belong in their district -- a clear warning shot at East Texas.

TiVo âHooks Upâ With PayPerPost
,----[ Quote ]
| Pay Per Post has been a very controversial company from the start. Because
| they pay individuals to make fake user generated content, that are really
| covert advertisements for sponsors, the FTC has even expressed some concerns
| over the truth in advertising issues related to their service.
