A Delaware federal jury has cleared TVision Insights Inc. from claims by The Nielsen Co. that it infringed a patent covering audio recognition software with its products for getting data on TV audiences.
Jurors on Thursday returned a verdict in favor of TVision after both parties rested Wednesday in the trial that kicked off on Monday. The jury denied Nielsen’s claims that its competitor infringed Claim 8 of the patent, which covers a technology and method for using “signatures” to identify content in audio streams for measuring television consumption habits.
