US Supreme Court - Washington DC
Cert. Denial Gives Comcast, Verizon Patent Win
Written October 18, 2018
The Supreme Court on October 15, 2018, declined to review a Federal Circuit decision affirming a district court’s holding that two of Two-Way Media Ltd.’s patents directed to internet streaming of video and audio were ineligible for protection. Two-Way Media Ltd. v. Comcast Cable Comm’ns. LLC, U.S., No. 18-124, cert denied 10/15/18.
Two-Way Media had sued Comcast and Verizon, claiming the Xfinity Stream TV and Verizon FiOS Mobile applications infringed its patents. The Federal Circuit found that the company’s patent claims were overly broad, abstract ideas that failed to show an improvement in how the network functioned.
