We’ve been covering TiVo’s patent dispute with DISH/EchoStar for, literally, years. Heck, I even trekked down to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 2007 to catch some argument/testimony.
However, I’ve grown bored of the topic. And, as neither an investor in TiVo nor DISH/Echo, I’ve got no skin in the game. Having said that, the eventual outcome could have a significant impact on the DVR landscape and US patent system (or DISH’s livelihood). So, if you’re in need of a refresher of how we got here and where we may be going, check out IPWatchdog’s summary – pointed out to me by TiVo owner and shareholder Davis Freeberg.
