After filing patent litigation over the past few years in the Western District of Texas, Broadband iTV, Inc. (BBiTV) has turned to the International Trade Commission (ITC), filing a complaint that proposes Altice, Charter Communications, and Comcast as respondents (337-TA-3616), targeted over their “television services” as delivered through set-top boxes. BBiTV asserts four patents from its single-family portfolio (of more than 75 members) broadly directed to the playback of on-demand TV content over the Internet and/or various aspects of related interactive program guides. The complainant pleads a domestic industry based on the activities of DISH Network, with which BBiTV “has a non-exclusive Cross-License patent agreement” covering those patents; litigation between BBiTV and DISH ended on December 1, 2021.
