CES 2019-- TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), a global leader in
entertainment technology and audience insights, today announced
that Minerva Networks, an IPTV industry pioneer and the leading
supplier of service management infrastructure for the delivery of
pay-TV services, has signed a multi-year intellectual property (IP)
license renewal and new global metadata deal to use TiVo as the
primary metadata provider for their new cloud service delivery
platform, Minerva YourTV Now.
“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.”
In addition to the IP license agreement, the new global metadata
deal enables Minerva to unify its metadata across the Minerva 10
platform and gain the benefits of using TiVo as their primary
provider, rather than relying on multiple vendors. TiVo’s metadata
platform offers scale, dynamism and great core data so Minerva can
deliver best-in-class experiences to its customers. Powered by
unique and innovative technology, TiVo’s metadata platform can
quickly surface trending content to market the right content at the
right time, improve search and recommendations, and support
voice-powered results.
“We are excited to expand our partnership with Minerva Networks
and are honored by the trust they have placed in us,” said Sarah
Gaeta, senior vice president and general manager, Metadata,
TiVo. “We look forward to supporting Minerva with innovative
entertainment enhancements that will be enjoyed for years to come
by its current and future customers.”
