The patent EP1166269 was granted to Tivo on May 23, 2018. The application was originally filed on Mar 30, 2000 under application number EP00921558A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Granted And Under Opposition".

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
