Forgent Gets Court Date for DVR Lawsuit

Via The Austin Business Journal.

Austin software and intellectual property licensing company Forgent Networks Inc. is going to court.

In July 2005, the company initiated litigation against 15 companies in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, for the alleged infringement of its '746 patent, a computer controlled video system that allows playback during recording -- similar to a digital video recorder.

Recently, Judge Leonard Davis of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, set a preliminary hearing for Nov. 9 and a trial date of May 14, 2007.

The court also ordered mediation among the parties to occur prior to the preliminary hearing. Mediation is scheduled to begin on September 11.
