Freeze Frame And I'll Sue!
Posted by Raul Ruiz on Wednesday, October 03 @ 03:01:02 EDT Patent
Yahoo is reporting that Pause Technology has filed a patent infringment lawsuit against TiVo Incorporated for violating its "Time Delayed Digital Video System using Concurrent Recording and Playback" patent (Pause Technology Commences Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against TiVo). This patent allows the freezing of live television streams and actually moving to and from specific areas in the stream, much like what the TiVo does.
UPDATED 0851 EDT Oct. 3

Slashdot has a discussion of this case and some interesting comments are made (TiVo Infringes On Pause Patent).
