OpenTV, a provider of interactive TV software and services, announced on Friday that it has settled its lawsuit against former competitor Liberate Technologies, with Liberate admitting that it infringed two OpenTV patents. Under the terms, the court permanently enjoined Liberate from infringing OpenTV's patents, while Liberate dismissed all of its counterclaims against OpenTV. San Francisco-based OpenTV originally filed suit in 2002 against Liberate, which sold its assets in 2005 to TVWorks, a joint venture between cable TV providers Comcast and Cox.
