LOS ANGELES, June 2 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas awarded set-top box maker TiVo Inc (TIVO.O) an additional $103 million in damages plus interest on Tuesday in a long-running patent infringement dispute with DISH Network Corp (DISH.O) and EchoStar Corp (SATS.O).
EchoStar has already paid TiVo a total of $104 million in damages and lost profits as the result of a 2006 jury award for infringing on patents for digital video recorder technology.
The judge may impose additional damages later this summer stemming from his finding that EchoStar violated an injunction he put in place following the jury verdict by implementing new “work-around” technology that TiVo claimed still infringed.
The legal dispute dates back to 2004, when TiVo charged that satellite TV provider EchoStar’s DISH network system violated TiVo’s patent for “Time Warp” software, which allows users to record one TV program while watching another.
After the verdict, EchoStar continued to distribute its digital video recorders and collect subscription fees for millions of DVRs with the work-around software.
U.S. District Judge David Folsom found in TiVo’s favor on the work-around issue and ordered EchoStar to disable an infringing function on all but about 193,000 digital video recorders placed with subscribers.
EchoStar also was ordered to inform the court before it attempts to implement another work-around of the patent it infringed.
DISH and EchoStar will appeal the court’s decision and file a motion to stay the order with a federal appeals court, the companies said in a statement.
and another one bites the dust.. and another one gone…..
