WhereverTV is Headed Back to Trial in its Infringement Claims Against Comcast

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals revived a patent infringement lawsuit Monday against Comcast two years after the judge presiding over the trial granted a motion ending the case before the jury heard closing arguments.

WhereverTV, a global TV subscription service, alleged Comcast infringed its patent covering its interactive program guide, and its lawyers had spent two weeks making its case to a jury when U.S. District Judge William Jung of the Middle District of Florida made the rare decision to grant Comcast’s motion for a directed verdict.
