Microsoft has asked the International Trade Commission to block all TiVo imports to the U.S., claiming the company has violated multiple patents.
The complaint focuses on patents relating to technology used in TiVo's Mediaroom software, available on various DVRs, including the AT&T U-Verse set-top box.
Microsoft filed a formal lawsuit against TiVo last January.
The software giant had initially tried to join AT&T in similar patent infringement suit, but instead opted for its own suit.
Reads the latest filing (via WR):
Microsoft seeks an order excluding TiVo’s infringing set-top boxes and associated software and hardware from entry into the United States and a cease and desist order or orders halting the domestic sale of infringing, imported set-top boxes and associated software and hardware.
