Apple, a company that remains in the spotlight, recently filed a major lawsuit with the United States Patent Office. The company’s direct approach to court this time, rather than seeking a middle ground as usual, surprised many. The reason for the lawsuit is cited as the Patent Office’s refusal to grant patents for Apple’s applications named Reality Composer and Reality Converter.
While the exact date of the patent application is unknown, it is estimated that the applications were first introduced in 2020. The company’s move is expected to set an example for other technology giants struggling to obtain patents from the office. Here are all the details…
Apple is Unyielding on Patents
The biggest objection to the company’s patent application is known to have come from ZeroDensity, a Turkish company. The company claims to hold patents for many uses of the term “Reality” and argues that if patents are granted for the terms Reality Composer and Reality Converter, it will cause significant confusion among users. However, Apple argues that the term has a much broader meaning.
ZeroDensity’s management stated that Apple’s arguments were greatly misinterpreted and erroneous, and they would do their utmost to protect the rights of the Reality brand. Additionally, Apple is also dealing with a different patent lawsuit in China. According to leaks, Huawei obtained the patent for the term Huawei Vision Pro four years ago. It seems like the end of patent lawsuits is nowhere in sight.
