RealD Gets Patent Win

Los Angeles-based 3D movie technology developer RealD announced on Wednesday that the company has scored a patent win in Europe. According to the company, the European Patent Office (EPO) has upheld the validity on one of its key patents for light-doubling 3D cinema projection systems. RealD said the ruling will bolster its case against Volfoni, who the company is suing over infringement of its patents. RealD had announced in December of 2017 that it was suing Volfoni SAS, Volfoni GmbH and CinemaNext Deutschland Gmbh over infringement of three of RealD's European patents by the importation, sale, or offer for sale of the Volfoni SmartCrystal Diamond cinema systems in Germany. RealD is seeking an injunction banning sale of the devies, plus financial damages. RealD develops 3D movie projection technology.
