Virgin Media wins court case with Gemstar
Quote:
Virgin Media has succeeded in the patent dispute brought against it by Gemstar TV Guide. The London High Court rulings call into question the ability for intellectual property rights holder Rovi to enforce its patents both in the UK and with operators around the world
Good read and a good ruling, some of the stuff that has been patented in the area of the PVR is just madness and is holding back inovation. At least now that holder of most of the good patents, Tivo, is on board with VM.
A court has today rejected an appeal by the Rovi-owned Gemstar in a legal battle with Virgin Media over electronic programme guide (EPG) patents
Quote:
At the High Court ruling, Justice Mann dismissed the case because the technology being disputed was too general, and he further moved to recall Gemstar's patents.
