Television set-top box maker TiVo Inc. won an federal appeals court ruling expected to force Dish Network and EchoStar corporations to pay at least $300 million in damages for a patent violation.
A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, in Washington, D.C., sided with Alviso, Calif.-based TiVo in a 2-1 decision on Thursday.
The appeals court ruling may not the end the six-year legal battle.
Dish Network and its sister company EchoStar expect to ask the federal circuit’s full panel of judges to review the decision.
“We also will be proposing a new design-around to the district court for approval,” the companies said in a joint statement. “At this time, our DVR customers are not impacted.”
It is possible that TIVO could see $20 in the next few trading sessions. See how today’s action plays out with this FREE Trend Analysis sent right to your inbox no strings attached.
