Rovi Reports Litigation Victory In Italy - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Rovi Corp. (ROVI), a digital entertainment technology company, Monday said it prevailed in an infringement proceeding in Italy. The proceeding was initiated by Card Mania and Italvideo, two consumer electronics companies, alleging that the Italian portions of two European Rovi patents are invalid and not infringed. Rovi counterclaimed that the patents are valid and infringed.

In May, the Court of Turin in Italy issued its decision that Rovi is entitled to a total combined judgment of $1 million.

The Court of Turin had previously found the asserted patents valid and infringed by Card Mania and Italvideo.
