Your arrogance is completely unfounded. Stop embarassing yourself and drop the conspiracy theory BS. It is cluttering this thread and it is nonsense.
You cut the attacks. Argue the issues, I will decide what is cluttering the thread.

Yes. It can.
Folsom's rulings and subsequent appeals can be used to strengthen TiVo's position in the four-factor test for granting a preliminary injunction. If it is shown that the technology of other DVR's are likely not to be colorably different than those ruled upon in the E* case, it will be shown to be likely that TiVo will succeed based on the merits of the case. TiVo can then get a preliminary injunction issued against those DVR's.
Simple as that.
Folsom's rulings can't even be mentioned in a different lawsuit. Mistrial city. Totally irrelevant.Yes. It can.

The way it appears, if your DVR can do "trick play", TiVo is going to go after them. Motorola, Scientific Atlanta, Time Warner, an so on, here they come. Of course, for all anyone knows, TiVo has "private" licensing agreements with one or more of those companies. It's not like there has to be a press release. One of those companies may not want it known that they are using TiVo technology....TiVo knew E*'s DVRs very likely used TiVo's technology, it was easy picking.
But here is the problem, you completely missed my point, just like what you did in the last exchange regarding the "frivolous" issue.
My point is, the TiVo folks want to come in here to argue E* should settle, look all the analysts say so, the judge said so, even most posters here say so. TiVo wants to settle too, it is in TiVo's interest to keep E* DVRs going, as long as TiVo gets the cut. In fact the stock market is waiting for such settlement so TiVo investors can make a killing of it.
But E* was prepared not to settle. If E* loses the next round, it will not destroy it, if E* wins the next round, it will more likely destroy TiVo.

... When the class action suits get filed...
Stop lying! I never said there was a second contempt ( I believe the first contempt has been reiterated, and will ultimately come to bear with punitive measures on E*), and I never said I wanted to see E* destroyed, I simply pointed out what an admirable job the CEO is doing in that regard.TiVo hasn't sued Time Warner either, despite the fact they have no agreement, care to explain why?
Where is the other contempt? And as I tried to explain to Mainer, there will not be one so folks should stop thinking about it. Most of you just like TiVo want a settlement so TiVo can benefit, I know, but put that thought away for now.
Mainer of course is one exception, he seems to believe TiVo does not want a settlement, TiVo wants to destroy E*. Not so, TiVo needs E* to continue its business in order to benefit from it.
I simply don't recall the number of lines of code being referred to as the only criteria for E*'s edited code being found no more than colorably different. Can you provide a citation for those statements please?Recall both TiVo and the judge argued the new software is only colorably different than the old software because E* only changed 5,000 lines of code, among maybe tens of thousands of lines of the code?
Not if they are not the defendants subject to the injunction. Please don't make things up.
Believe me, the rest of the shareholders are not happy with the way this is being handled. I know you can only view this from the standpoint of the users, but there are others that have a large stake in it and have no agreements not to sue.Is that another educational lecture? E* has the right to change the service or terminate any part of the service, it is in the contract, there will be no class actions. People can leave.
But just like when you said the appeals court could find E* appeal frivolous, this class action thing is another one of your hypotheticals that has no factual basis to stand on.

A jury would need to make such a decision. That's the central question in the lawsuit. "Did they infringe?".If, say Time Warner DVR's infringe on the same claims that the jury, Folsom, the CAFC and patent re-exam all upheld, TiVo can use that to demonstrate the likelihood of success.

I am "aware of...". Apparently you aren't. The Supreme Court's four factor test applies to permanent injunctions. Their decision said nothing about preliminary injunctions.Of course, and that right is not waived. But a PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION is determine preliminarily before any jury determines any decision. It is done by the judge based on the four-factor test that you should be aware of...

That preliminary injunction was shot down by the appeals court. Conveniently, it says so right in the link provided. That isn't the important point. No court is going to relinquish their authority to define terms to another court on the same level. The next court in the next lawsuit may define "parsing" as spreading peanut butter on a sandwich. Each court and each lawsuit is independent.Be careful with the personal attacks and focus more on researching your false asssertions. I will stick to proving you wrong.
The four-factor test is regarding injunctive relief. It should be obvious that preliminary or permanent doesn't matter because at either point it is still an injunction. Here is one of many reputable links that discuss the four factor test for preliminary injunctions.
