Based on the provided data, Videotron is an operating company defending against patent litigation in the U.S. The company has been named as a defendant in one tracked case and has not appeared as a plaintiff. This pattern is typical of a technology-focused operating company being targeted by patent assertions rather than initiating them.

The company's single tracked U.S. patent case is Dish Technologies L.L.C. et al. v. Videotron Ltd., filed in the District of Utah in January 2024. The plaintiff, Dish Technologies, is the intellectual property arm of DISH Network and is an active patent asserter in the streaming technology space. In Canada, Videotron has also defended against patent assertions, notably winning a case brought by Rovi Guides, Inc. related to interactive television guide patents.
