TiVo Awarded $90M And Permanent Injunction
Back in April a jury agreed with TiVo that EchoStar willfully infringed upon TiVo's patent for a "multimedia time-warping system." Then crickets for the last 4 months as the two battled it at a bench trial where TiVo requested a permanent injunction against the provider of the DISH Network. Well, the ruling is in and EchoStar must pay TiVo an initial award of about $90 million and must disable all infringing DVR functionality within 30 days -- we're talking switching off the DVR functionality of four million users.
EchoStar is definitely going to attempt to stay the injunction.
