Authored by Mark Hefflinger on June 15, 2006 - 1:52pm.
Old Lyme, Conn. - USA Video Technology, a holder of video distribution technology patents, announced on Thursday that it sued cable TV providers Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox and Charter for infringing its patents with their video-on-demand (VOD) services. Earlier this week, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled against the company in an appeal of a similar case it brought against Movielink, an Internet video-on-demand service launched by several Hollywood movie studios. The suit against the cable TV firms seeks fair compensation and an injunction against the video-on-demand services.
