TiVo signs metadata deal with Minerva Networks

TiVo has renewed its intellectual property license deal with Minerva Networks and agreed a new global metadata agreement with the video technology firm.

Minerva will use TiVo as the metadata provider for their new cloud service delivery platform, Minerva YourTV Now. The deal establishes TiVo as Minerva’s primary metadata provider, rather than the company relying on multiple vendors.

“TiVo’s IP continues to provide companies around the world with access to transformative entertainment technologies, and our license renewal with Minerva Networks underscores the leadership position of TiVo’s portfolio in the marketplace,” said Arvin Patel, executive vice president and chief IP officer, Rovi Corporation, a TiVo company.

“Thanks to our extensive IP portfolio, Minerva Networks can deliver compelling experiences to customers in the United States, Latin America, and around the world.”
