ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On June 2, 2009, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas found EchoStar in contempt of its permanent injunction regarding
EchoStar's on-going infringement of TiVo's U.S. Patent No. 6,233,389. The Court
also awarded TiVo an additional $103,068,836 plus interest for EchoStar's
continued infringement for the period from September 8, 2006 to April 18, 2008.
The Court deferred ruling on potential monetary sanctions for contempt of the
permanent injunction as well as certain other damages. EchoStar filed a notice
on June 2, 2009 to appeal the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit.
