*Macrovision Corp. v. Sima Corp.
Mar 22, 2007OUTCOME: Successful action on DMCA and patent claims
Patent infringement and DMCA action against Sima in the Southern District of New York (Manhattan). After the district court granted Macrovision’s motion for a preliminary injunction against the sale ... of Sima’s products based on Macrovision’s claims for violation of the DMCA, Sima filed an interlocutory appeal and an emergency motion for a stay of the preliminary injunction pending appeal with the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit denied Sima’s motion for a stay in an order detailing the reasons why Sima’s appeal was not likely to succeed on the merits. Sima agreed to a settlement shortly thereafter. As a part of the settlement, Sima acknowledged the validity of the Macrovision patents and was permanently enjoined.
