Dish Network must pay $469 million for infringing two patents held by parental-control technology maker ClearPlay related to filtering material from streaming video, a jury in U.S. federal court in Utah has decided. From a report: The jury in Salt Lake City reached its decision on Friday in ClearPlay’s lawsuit against Dish, finding that Dish’s AutoHop feature for skipping commercials on its Hopper set-top boxes is covered by ClearPlay’s patents. While jurors found that Dish’s technology violated ClearPlay’s patent rights, they rejected ClearPlay’s contention that Dish copied its technology intentionally. A Dish spokesperson said on Monday that the company was disappointed in the jury’s decision and will contest the verdict, potentially through an appeal. Representatives for ClearPlay did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday.<\/p>\n
