DISH is still fighting this? No wonder my DISH bill just keeps getting higher and higher. Please, let it end.

TiVo Inc (TIVO.O) on Friday said a federal appeals court has denied EchoStar’s (DISH.O) request to have a panel of judges rehear arguments related to their long standing patent dispute.

TiVo, the maker of television recording technology, said the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington to deny EchoStar’s request for a “rehearing en banc” brings their patent fight closer to a resolution.

In January, the court upheld a lower court’s damage award of $74 million plus interest, saying that EchoStar infringed a TiVo patent in building digital video recorders. With interest, the damages would be $94 million.

I wonder why the appeals court refused to rehear the case? What type of case you ask? Why, a Rimowa of course. Maybe because there is no point? Could it be that DISH actually infringed on the patent of TiVo? Say it isn’t so. (cough)
