Dish Network LLC must pay $469 million for infringing two patents held by parental-control technology maker ClearPlay Inc related to filtering material from streaming video, a jury in U.S. federal court in Utah has decided.
Salt Lake City-based ClearPlay's technology lets users filter out adult content like sex, violence and drug use from DVDs and streaming video. It sued Dish in 2014, alleging that AutoHop's technology for cutting commercials from DVR content violates its patents for a "method of filtering multimedia content without altering the underlying video."
Englewood, Colorado-based Dish said that AutoHop works differently from ClearPlay's patented technology. Dish also said the patents are invalid, arguing they are obvious based on earlier inventions or cover abstract ideas. The case is ClearPlay Inc v.
