Smart Glasses War: Viture Accuses Xreal of Infringement
12 Feb
Summary
- Viture filed a countersuit in China, alleging Xreal infringes its electrochromic film technology.
- A Viture win could halt Xreal's current glasses and necessitate destruction of manufacturing modules.
- The legal dispute over electrochromic lens technology spans China, Germany, and the United States.
The legal conflict between smart glasses manufacturers Viture and Xreal has intensified, with Viture filing a countersuit in China. Viture alleges that Xreal is infringing on its "electrochromic film technology." This technology enables lenses to dynamically adjust tint and transparency through a small electrical current.
A Viture victory could lead to restrictions on Xreal's manufacturing or exports of products utilizing this technology. Viture suggests this could also necessitate the destruction of Xreal's manufacturing modules, representing a potentially devastating outcome for Xreal's operations.
This lawsuit is part of a broader, ongoing patent infringement battle between the two companies, with legal proceedings initiated in China, Germany, and the United States. Viture claims to have known about potential infringement for some time but initially focused on its own product development.
