Motorola Mobility Sues TiVo to Challenge Time Warp Patents
This article is for subscribers only.
Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. filed a lawsuit challenging TiVo Inc.’s “time warp” patents and claiming it owns the rights to digital-video recording technology that was invented first.
The complaint today in federal court in Texarkana, Texas, contends TiVo infringes patents and seeks a ruling that Motorola Mobility customer Verizon Communications Inc.’s set-top boxes don’t use TiVo inventions. TiVo sued Verizon in 2009, claiming the FiOS television service violates its patents.
