   En nav de bekendmaking van de Amerikaanse Opencable MHP-DVB specificatie kwam OpenTV met de volgende reactie: CableLabs Publishes OCAP Middleware Specifications LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 3, 2002 "This is a positive step forward for the industry. We believe the development of standards and standards-based products are critical for the long-term growth of the interactive television industry," said Vincent Dureau, OpenTV chief technology officer. "OpenTV has actively engaged in the implementation of MHP software and applications in Europe and is a member of the DVB steering committee. We are proud to be the first to release product ready for certification by the MHP standard. We look forward to working with CableLabs and other leading industry players in the U.S. to provide compelling middleware and content, as we have done around the world." En verder schijnen er nog mensen te zijn die denken dat algemene patenten zoals diegen hier ondergenoemd ineens waardeloos zijn als (en het is ook nog een GROTE ALS ook) MHP over JAREN (ja JAREN!) wordt ingevoerd. Tja. OpenTV awarded Web-related patent By Richard Shim Staff Writer, CNET News.com November 19, 2001, 12:00 PM PT Interactive TV software maker OpenTV announced Monday that it has been issued a patent covering the delivery of Internet content over cable and satellite networks to set-top boxes. The patent improves the management of bandwidth for cable and satellite operators, which will create a better experience for subscribers using Internet content and services via television. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company originally filed for the patent in 1996 and has been using technology based on the patent with satellite TV company EchoStar in the United States. "What this means in the long run is the better use of content on a set-top box," said Vincent Dureau, OpenTV's chief technology officer. "It means more efficient and automated interactive capabilities for operators, and anything that makes it more simple and seamless is good for the subscriber." Dureau added that the new patent is just one in a wide portfolio for the company, which is significant in the interactive TV world, where the value of a company is often based on intellectual property holdings. OpenTV holds 37 U.S. patents and a total of 74 worldwide. The company has 330 (!!) applications pending. The company provides software that acts like an operating system for set-top boxes. There are more than 20 million households worldwide with set-top boxes using OpenTV's software. A majority of those households are in Europe, which has a 12- to 18-month head start over the United States in the interactive TV market, according to analysts. The company counts Liberate Technologies and Microsoft TV as competitors.
