What They Say
Advanced TV reported that RealD has won a patent battle with LightSpeed over the firm’s DepthQ CineBright two-beam system. A court in Düsseldorf, Germany found that LightSeed had infringed on RealD’s two-beam 3D cinema projection system patents (pat. numbers EP 2 469 336 and EP 2 067 066).
The rulings apply to the European patents and are the latest cases upholding and affirming RealD’s patents around the world. Following a strong history of victories for RealD in numerous territories and regions including the US, Europe, China, Japan, Russia and Australia, where the company’s invention patents were successfully asserted, or challenges by infringers such as Master Image and Volfoni, were unsuccessful.
