EchoStar Communications Corp. lawsuit: “We are pleased that the United States Patent and Trademark Office yesterday rejected many of TiVo’s patent claims as invalid. That reexamination ruling, together with the favorable decision from the Court of Appeals earlier this month (finding that the Texas court abused its discretion in connection with key trial evidence withheld from the jury), are steps in the right direction as we prepare our response to TiVo’s recently filed injunction motion. Similarly, the favorable U.S. Supreme Court decision last week in the eBay patent injunction case will be considered as part of the long process ahead.”
