LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global 3D and visual technology company RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD) has issued a statement to correct misinformation and to clarify misrepresentations made in a press release regarding the RealD XL Cinema System intellectual property rights and RealD’s decision to dismiss the U.S. patent lawsuit against Volfoni in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
RealD made the decision to dismiss the U.S. patent lawsuit against Volfoni without prejudice only after Volfoni made specific representations and warranties that it had not sold or distributed, and is not selling or distributing, the Smart Diamond Crystal product in the United States which RealD believes infringes its US patents. In the event Volfoni’s representations are false or Volfoni begins selling the Smart Diamond Crystal product or any modified version of that product in the United States, RealD has reserved the right to continue the suit against Volfoni in the same court, at the company’s discretion.
RealD maintains an extensive patent portfolio connected to its XL Cinema System product line in numerous international markets, including the United States, Europe, China, Japan, S. Korea, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico and Russia, and intends to vigorously enforce its international intellectual property rights for all RealD products in order to stop copying and unlicensed use of its inventions by others.
