1. Jury awards damages
A jury found that Comcast’s X1 set-top boxes infringed WhereverTV’s patent covering technology for integrating cable channels with streaming services, awarding $213 million in damages. Comcast denied the allegations and argued that the patent was invalid.
2. Case history
WhereverTV filed the lawsuit in 2018, alleging Comcast integrated the technology into its X1 platform around 2012. A judge ruled for Comcast after an earlier jury trial in 2023, but the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned that ruling in 2025 and sent the case back for a new trial.
