In a complaint filed in a federal Massachusetts court on Friday, Solos Technology Ltd. accused Meta and the other parties of willfully violating several patents that cover “core technologies in the field of smart eyewear.” The company is seeking “multiple billions of dollars” in damages and an injunction that could potentially disrupt sales of Ray-Ban Meta products.
