Cisco sues TiVo to nullify four DVR patents, claims TiVo's just a big meanie

TiVo frownTiVo is known for being more than a bit aggressive in claiming patent rights for its DVRs, and Cisco has apparently had the last straw. Scientific Atlanta's owner has sued TiVo this week in an attempt to negate four patents that TiVo is allegedly using to bully Cisco and other set-top box makers. As long as those patents are active or usable against others, TiVo will refuse to give a fair license, Cisco says -- leaving competitors with little choice but to either agree to a costly settlement or risk a ban. Before championing Cisco as the underdog, remember that it's likely counting on a large patent library as a Sword of Damocles over TiVo's head that could fall if TiVo decides on a countersuit. Regardless of the strategic maneuvering, there's no doubt that Cisco is hoping to avoid a lawsuit on the scale of the epic-length EchoStar case.

Do You Believe Destiny Shapes Your Life? Or Life Shapes Your Destiny?

It is my belief that life is what we make of it. As a person raised in the United States with a first generation father, I have come to see this country as beautiful and challenging with its basis in FREEDOM. But with that freedom comes responsibility and with responsibility comes discipline, with discipline there is understanding and with understanding comes honesty and integrity.
