Finisar accuses DirecTV of violating patents
Finisar Corp., a maker of gear for optical networks, Wednesday accused DirecTV Group Inc. of violating patents for an information-transmission system.
In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, located in Beaumont, Texas, Sunnyvale-based Finisar said it seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief.
It said DirecTV, the nation’s largest direct broadcast satellite provider, infringed patents for technology which provides access to the contents of a large database while using a “manageable amount of bandwidth.”
