Tivo Corp. (TIVO) on Thursday said its Rovi Corp. unit filed an
additional patent lawsuit against Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), alleging
the cable provider's X1 platform infringes on Tivo's
technology.
Tivo said the X1 platform infringes on technology like pausing
and resuming shows on different devices, restarting live
programming, advanced DVR recording features and search & voice
functionality.
In November, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that
Comcast set-top boxes violated a different set of patents following
a complaint from Tivo. In 2016, Rovi, which has since bought and
renamed itself to Tivo, filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against
Comcast after failing to come to terms on a new licensing agreement
related to the technology.
Shares of Tivo rose 0.7% in pre-market trading, while shares of
Comcast were inactive.
