Rovi Guides, Inc. ("Rovi"), a subsidiary of Xperi Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: XPER) ("Xperi"), announced today that it received a favorable initial determination ("ID") issued today by Administrative Law Judge MaryJoan McNamara of the International Trade Commission ("ITC") finding that Comcast’s X1 platform infringes on two Rovi patents and recommends the issuance of a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order.
The patents at issue in the order cover innovations generally relating to multi-room DVR and communication between multiple set-top boxes using MoCA technology. These patents are just a few of approximately 11,000 Xperi patents and applications broadly licensed across its platform to companies in the media and semiconductor markets.
"We are pleased with this decision, which is now our third favorable decision at the ITC against Comcast. While the decision represents a positive and key milestone in our litigation, our ultimate goal remains to ensure that we receive fair value for our innovations and that we reach a mutually acceptable agreement with Comcast to allow the ongoing use of Rovi patented technology, just as we have done broadly with the other major US Pay-TV providers," said Samir Armaly, Xperi’s president of IP licensing. "Notably, even while being in litigation over the past few years, our IP business has continued to successfully license, renew or extend licensing agreements across the industry."
The full ID is subject to confidentiality restrictions. Thus, no further details on the substance of the decision, including details about the scope of the ALJ’s infringement finding, are available at this time though we may provide a further update as more information becomes available.
The ID is now subject to review by the Commissioners at the ITC. Any remedies, including a limited exclusion order, would not issue until after the completion of the investigation, which at this time is scheduled for November 30, 2020.
