TiVo scores patent win against EchoStar

Posted on Friday, April 14, 2006 by MegaZone

A Texas jury has awarded TiVo $73.9 million in damages after finding that EchoStar infringed on patents held by TiVo for digital video recorders.

This is a big win for TiVo. I’m sure EchoStar will appeal, but this win gives TiVo more leverage in licensing their software, or intellectual property, to others.
