Gemstar Sues EchoStar for Interactive Television Program Guides Pasadena, California, Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc., the biggest maker of software for interactive television guides, sued EchoStar Communications Corp. for allegedly using the guides without its permission. Gemstar is seeking unspecified damages against EchoStar, the No. 2 U.S. satellite-TV provider, and an injunction to prevent the company from selling guides, according to a statement distributed by Business Wire. Officials at Pasadena, California-based Gemstar weren't available for comment. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. EchoStar is at least the fifth company that Gemstar has sued over the program guides, which let viewers search for TV programs on cable or satellite by date and subject. Last Monday, Gemstar said it settled a lawsuit against Motorola Inc., the No. 1 maker of cable set-top boxes, under which Motorola agreed to pay the company $200 million.
