The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted a request by EchoStar Communications to stay a permanent injunction imposed by the U.S. District Court to prevent the direct-broadcast satellite provider from making, using, offering for sale or selling in the United States the digital-video-recorder products involved in the case.
The U.S. District Court decision was handed down Aug. 18, but EchoStar appealed it.
TiVo originally sued EchoStar in January 2004, alleging that Dish violated its “time warp” patent.
“We are confident that the jury's decision in TiVo's favor will be upheld once the Federal Circuit has the opportunity to review the entire record in this case,” the DVR vendor said in a prepared statement. “It is important to note that most injunctions in patent cases are stayed pending appeal, and the appeal itself will be decided on a totally different standard of review.”
