Dish, Echostar Must Pay TiVo $200 Million - AT&T, Verizon lawyers paying close attention... - dslreports.com
In the continuing saga of TiVo versus, well, everybody, TiVo is continuing to come out on top, with a Texas Judge ruling that Dish and $200 million should be paid to the DVR company for DVR patent violations. The settlement total calculates a $2.25 royalty per DVR subscriber per month from April of 2008, when an appeals court sided with TiVo over Dish Network after a nearly five year legal patent battle. AT&T and Verizon lawyers are likely watching all of this with great interest, after both telcos were sued by the company last month for violating many of the same patents.
