EchoStar Sues TiVo, Humax for Infringing Digital Video Recorder Patents

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 5, 2005 - 10:10am.
Littleton, Colo. -- EchoStar Communications, which operates the DISH Network satellite TV service, has filed patent infringement claims against TiVo and Humax, two makers of digital video recorders that let viewers pause and record live TV. The suit comes after TiVo filed its own lawsuit against EchoStar in early 2004, claiming the company is infringing on its digital video recording patent; that case is headed for jury selection on Oct. 4. Littleton, Colorado-based EchoStar's suit, filed on April 29 in a Texas District Court, alleges that TiVo and Humax are infringing on four of its patents.
