Rovi Guides, Inc. v. Videotron Ltd.
Rovi and TiVo filed a lawsuit against Videotron for patent infringement. The patents relate to interactive television program guide (IPG) technology. TiVo later dropped its claims. The Patents cover various aspects of IPG design and were filed in the late 1990s but expired before the trial. Only four sets of claims, referred to as the "Asserted Claims," remain. Videotron denies infringement and counters that the Patents are invalid. The court concludes that all Asserted Claims are invalid due to anticipation and obviousness, dismissing Rovi's action and granting Videotron's counterclaim.
