TiVo Statement in Response to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals' Decision to Temporarily Block Injunction

ALVISO, Calif., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ:TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVR), today offered the following statement on the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. decision to temporarily block the injunction ordered by U.S. District Court Judge David Folsom:

The company said, "We are very pleased by recent developments involving the issuance of a permanent injunction in our patent case against EchoStar by the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas. The court of appeals temporarily stayed the district court injunction until it reviews the papers submitted by the parties and decides whether a stay should or should not be in effect for the duration of the appeals process. The court stated that the temporary stay is not based on a consideration of the merits of EchoStar's request, and is entered to preserve the status quo while the court considers the parties' papers."
