Decision

Rovi Guides, Inc. v. Videotron Ltd., 2024 FCA 125

Justice Stratas; Justice Gleason; Justice Monaghan - 2024-08-06

Read full decision. Summary prepared by Alan Macek:

The appellant, Rovi, appeals from the judgment of the Federal Court in 2022 FC 874. In that judgment, the Federal Court dismissed Rovi’s action against the respondent, Videotron, for patent infringement and granted Videotron’s counterclaim for declarations of invalidity and non?infringement ... For the reasons that follow, I find that the Federal Court did not make a reviewable error in its obviousness analysis concerning the 870 Patent and the 344 Patent. Therefore, it is unnecessary to address its non-infringement findings. However, some of its observations on remedy require correction by this Court.These corrections do not affect the diposition of this appeal, which I would accordingly dismiss, with costs. (DLA Piper represented the successful respondent)
