“In the end our technology and its value have been recognized,” said Jeff Miller, chief executive officer of San Jose, California-based ActiveVideo.
TiVo has cases pending against Google Inc.’s Motorola Mobility unit and Cisco Systems Inc. Both cases involve set-top boxes made for Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) A trial in the Motorola Mobility case is scheduled for May 2013 and the case against Cisco could head to trial in 2014.
“This is a major victory for TiVo, who will now focus on their legal efforts on potentially larger infringement claims against Google, Cisco and Time Warner Cable,” said Kevin Stadtler, principal of Stadtler Capital Management LLC in Fort Worth, Texas, who owns TiVo shares and is projecting they will rise.
