What They Say
Advanced Television reported that RealD has successfully finalised its patent dispute with Volfoni of France and appeals have been withdrawn, the site said.
The dispute covered patents EP2067066, EP2469336 and EP2846180.
In parallel proceedings before the European Patent Office (EPO), Volfoni attempted to challenge the validity of the patents asserted against them. In each case the rulings were issued in favour of RealD, and the patents upheld. RealD were also victorious in cases Volfoni brought before the EPO Opposition Division, and EPO Board of Appeals. Following hearings in January 2021, the latter of which dismissed all Volfoni’s appeals and maintained in full all the challenged RealD patents.
What We Think
We’ve reported* on this dispute a dozen times over the last few years and Volfoni had described itself as David in a battle with an industrial Goliath. (BR)
