SONICblue Sues TiVo for Patent Infringement

Posted by chrisd on from the guess-we-saw-this-coming dept.

SVDave writes "Yesterday, Slashdot reported that SONICblue was going to start negotiating patent licensing with TiVo. It appears that SONICblue has switched strategies: today they've decided to sue TiVo for patent infringement. Given TiVo's patents on PVR technology, I would expect a quick countersuit, though SONICblue claims that ReplayTV does not infringe on any of TiVo's patents."

    So basically, competition is pretty much grounds for a lawsuit these days. Nice.

      To review:
      • Those who can, create.
      • Those who can't, sue.
      • Those who can't create or sue (successfully) end up on fscked company
