Video Tech Firm Sues Cable Operators Over VoD

Via Reuters.

USA Video Technology Corp., a small technology firm that holds patents for the digital delivery of media, said on Thursday it has filed a suit against top U.S. cable operators over their video-on-demand services.

The Old Lyme, Conneticut-based company said it sued Time Warner Inc., Cox Communications Inc., Charter Communications Inc., and Comcast Corp., alleging the cable operators violated its patent with their video-on-demand services offered to subscribers.

USA Video Technology is a subsidiary of USA Video Interactive Corp. The company said it holds a patent for what it called "store-and-forward video," filed in 1990 and issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 1992.

The company said it is seeking fair compensation and a court injunction against further infringement.
