Great article Andy - thanks for sharing.

Interesting statement made:
…Yuen's track record in court is unblemished: He's never lost a major lawsuit, and he's collected big judgments from Scientific Atlanta and General Instrument that included punitive as well as compensatory damages.


Have the final award damages against GIC or SFA been published? My last understanding was that GMST was ask by the court to total up their damages and would then submit them to the court.
Does anyone have any information about the SFA judgment? Amounts? References? I am unable to find a thing…

And…
"There's no way the cable industry is going to yield total control to Henry Yuen. We'll go with no guides at all before we'll do that."
Does anyone have any qualified opinion as to whether server-centric EPG's infringe on GMST's IP? Have any rulings in other areas been made wrt server-centric vs. 'local-centric' (set-top, desk-top, etc.) ?

Thanks again,
Eric
