ViaSat is a satellite broadband supplier serving consumers over North America. It already has an action running against Space Systems/ Loral, a satellite builder, alleging that SS/L has misused patents granted to ViaSat for its High Throughput broadband satellite – which SS/L built.

Now ViaSat is alleging additional patent infringements against SS/L.

The new action was started in the US District Court of Southern California, and ViaSat is asking for damages and a permanent injunction on SS/L from continuing to use the technology.
