Gemstar Accuses Digeo of Patent Infringement
- Share via
Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc. accused Digeo Inc. of infringing patents for interactive TV listings.
Gemstar sued Digeo in federal court in Los Angeles after the closely held company refused to negotiate a license and targeted Gemstar with an antitrust lawsuit, General Counsel Stephen Kay said. Hollywood-based Gemstar’s suit also names Charter Communications Corp., a cable provider controlled by billionaire Paul Allen that uses Digeo’s Moxi program guide.
Spokesmen for Kirkland, Wash.-based Digeo and St. Louis-based Charter Communications didn’t immediately comment.
