Yes, there's a certain other patent brouhaha (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/apple-sues-htc-for-infringing-20-iphone-patents/) in the news right now, but we're not lying when we say these lawsuits take years to fully resolve. Take TiVo's endless time warp patent lawsuit (http://hd.engadget.com/tag/tivo,echostar,lawsuit) against EchoStar, which started in 2006 (http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/06/the-clicker-tivo-and-echostar-the-battle-begins/) and involves just a single patent: the court of appeals just today affirmed the $200 million contempt judgment (http://hd.engadget.com/2009/09/05/tivo-awarded-200m-in-damages-in-echostar-case-consumers-not-aw/) against EchoStar from September. Of course, EchoStar is going to appeal to the full appeals court -- it always appeals -- and if that doesn't work we'd wager that this case will eventually be appealed to the Supreme Court (http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/07/dish-appeal-denied-by-supreme-court-tivo-to-receive-104-millio/) for a second time. Don't worry, everyone keep can keep recording Idol -- this shouldn't affect TiVo or DISH Network customers at all. Statements from both TiVo and EchoStar after the break.Continue reading TiVo's $200m damages award in EchoStar case affirmed, EchoStar to appeal (again) (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/tivos-200m-damages-award-in-echostar-case-affirmed/)
