Charter Communications Inc. and Cox Communications Inc. were among those named in a patent lawsuit filed by USA Video Technology Corp. this week in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. USA Video Technology alleges in the suit, filed Tuesday, that seven companies -- including Charter and Cox -- infringed on its video-on-demand (VOD) patent. The other companies named were Time Warner Inc.; Comcast Cable Communications L.L.C.; Comcast of Richardson L.P.; Comcast of Plano L.P.; and Comcast of Dallas L.P. The companies cited in the lawsuit operate digital cable systems in which they provide allegedly infringing VOD services to their subscribers, USA Video Technology said in a release.
