o Court Blocks Injunction Against EchoStar in TiVo Patent Case

Englewood, Colo. - EchoStar Communications, operator of the DISH Network satellite TV service, announced that an appeals court has blocked an injunction against the company's digital video recorders that was part of a ruling won in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by TiVo. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Tuesday stayed the injunction ordered by a federal court in Texas, which would have prevented EchoStar from making or selling its digital video recorders, and compelled the company to disable set-tops already in customers' homes. "We are pleased the Federal Court found that EchoStar has a 'substantial case on the merits' and blocked the Texas decision for the duration of the appeal," EchoStar said in a statement. The ruling against EchoStar also ordered the company to pay TiVo $89.6 million in damages. "We are confident that the jury's decision in TiVo's favor will be upheld once the Federal Circuit has the opportunity to review the entire record in this case," TiVo said in a statement.

o Steve Jobs Apologizes for Apple's Past Stock Option Practices

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Wednesday apologized for the company's past practice of backdating stock option grants. The company said that a special committee of outside directors has found that stock option grants made on 15 dates between 1997 and 2002 appear to have had grant dates that preceded the approval of those grants. The committee said that Jobs was aware of the favorable grant dates in a few instances, but did not benefit and was unaware of the accounting implications. The investigation also raised serious concerns regarding the actions of two former officers, but found no misconduct among any member of Apple's current management team. "I apologize to Apple's shareholders and employees for these problems, which happened on my watch," said Jobs. "We will now work to resolve the remaining issues as quickly as possible and to put the proper remedial measures in place to ensure that this never happens again." The company also announced that Fred Anderson, Apple's former CFO, has resigned from its board of directors. Anderson, who served as CFO from 1996-2004, informed the company that he believes it is in Apple's best interests that he resign from the board at this time.

o SanDisk Gets U.S. Regulatory Clearance to Acquire Msystems

Milpitas, Calif. - SanDisk, a maker of flash memory data storage cards used in MP3 players, mobile phones and other devices, said on Wednesday that it has received U.S. regulatory clearance to complete its $1.3 billion acquisition of Israel's msystems. The company said that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 has expired, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a no action letter. The deal still must be approved by msystems' shareholders and Israeli courts before closing. The deal, first announced in last July, would unite a pair of flash memory pioneers with complementary products, customers and channels. Msystems specializes in flash memory systems for the mobile, portable and embedded markets.
