Motorola settles patent dispute with Tivo
Tivo has settled its patent dispute with Motorola Mobility over digital-video recording technology. The settlement averts a trial that was scheduled to start in a week, Bloomberg reports. A Motorola Mobility spokesman confirmed the settlement, but didn't provide any terms of the deal to license Tivo's technology. Cisco is still fighting a similar suit against Tivo in court, also related to set-top boxes for Time Warner Cable.
