Jenner & Block’s intellectual property lawyers litigated one of the most important cases in the broadcast television industry last year, resulting in a U.S. Supreme Court precedent. In June, the court ruled that online streaming service Aereo Inc. had violated copyright law by retransmitting over-the-air television programming without broadcaster authorization. Jenner’s clients included Fox Television Stations, Univision Television Group Inc. and the Public Broadcasting Service.”The Supreme Court victory saved the industry tens of billions of dollars and prevented what could have been a radical transformation of the industry,” said Richard Stone, a partner in Los Angeles and co-chairman of the content, media and entertainment practice.
“They’re very powerful advocates and tenacious litigators who leave no stone unturned,” said one of Jenner’s broadcasting clients, who declined to be identified. “The future of broadcast television was at stake.”
