This week’s blog is entitled “Motorola Mobility Sues TiVo over D.V.R. Patents.” The lawsuit stems from TiVo manufacturing and distributing set top boxes patented by Motorola. General Instruments, a subsidiary of Motorola. Has claimed the patent since 1995 or at least two years before TiVo began producing them. TiVo on the other hand has filed similar lawsuits against Verizon and AT&T. EchoStar, a formal subsidiary of Dish Network has already awarded TiVo 100 million dollars in damages. The 100 million dollars was half of a 200 million dollar lawsuit. That lawsuit of course was also for stealing property rights. Motorola is currently being sued by a company known as Xoom Corp. Xoom Corp is suing Motorola for its version a tablet set to compete with Apple. The tablet resembles the Xoom tablet and is meant to compete with Apple’s iPod and iPad.
