Solos Sues Meta and EssilorLuxottica for Patent Infringement
Solos, a company that makes smart glasses, is suing Meta and EssilorLuxottica.
Solos says that Meta and EssilorLuxottica copied its ideas and used them in their Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
These glasses have cameras, speakers, and AI features.
Solos says it showed its technology to these companies and that they knew about its patents.
Solos wants a lot of money and wants the courts to stop the sale of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Meta and EssilorLuxottica haven't said anything about the lawsuit yet.
Solos Technology Ltd. has filed a federal patent infringement lawsuit against Meta Platforms and EssilorLuxottica.
The lawsuit claims that Meta and EssilorLuxottica unlawfully incorporated Solos’ patented technologies into the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
Solos alleges that the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 1, Gen 2, and Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses infringe on five of its patents.
Solos is seeking damages in the 'multiple billions of dollars' range and a permanent injunction to stop sales of the infringing products.
