VDPP LLC Appeals Sanctioned Dismissal of Patent Suit Against Volkswagen Over 3D Glasses Technology

Patent-holding company VDPP LLC has approached the Federal Circuit, challenging a lower court’s decision to dismiss its patent infringement suit against Volkswagen. The case involves allegations over 3D glasses technology. A Texas federal judge labeled the lawsuit as “frivolous” and imposed six-figure sanctions on VDPP and its counsel, William Ramey III of Ramey LLP. VDPP argues that these penalties could deter small patent owners from seeking relief for patent breaches. For more on this legal development, visit the Law360 article.
