Re: TiVo gains second judgment against Echostar I said they got a new patent (vs licensing) for their guide. It was a good chunk of their "interface" patent 6757906.
Lots of the elements TiVo was granted a patent for in their interface patent were all prior art, previously patented by Gemstar or even the 1985 EPG patent and I'm sure many others.
And this wouldn't be the first time the PO handed out a patent on prior art as IBM got one for the scroll bar in 1995 when obvious to everyone, the scroll bar had long existed, including in Windows 3.1.
