MasterImage 3D Challenges RealD’s Utility Model Patent Application in Russia

Files Appeal Over Blatant Lack of Inventiveness; Committed to Rollout of HORIZON3D High-Brightness System
MasterImage 3D, a worldwide leader in 3D display technologies for digital cinema, challenged the validity of RealD’s utility model (UM) patent in Russia by filing an appeal before the Chamber for Patent Dispute.  MasterImage 3D specifically asserts that RealD’s utility model patent fails to meet the requirments for patent protection in Russia.
 
RealD’s Russian utility model patent is not valid and lacks novelty and inventiveness, according to MasterImage 3D.  In facts, the UM application was only successfully granted, because Russian UM patents lacks substantive examination. 
 
RealD’s utility model patent application was filed in response to MasterImage 3D’s new HORIZON3D product line which uses a light recycling, triple-beam design to achieve industry-leading brightness and accomodate contemporary auditoriums with wide screens and immersive experiences.  The HORIZON3D is capable of 33% light efficiency and a throw-ratio as low as 0.8.
 
MasterImage 3D asserted that it will stand with customers in all cases, as RealD has taken varying actions to threaten customers around the world.  If RealD continues unsupported threats against MasterImage 3D customers, MasterImage 3D will take any action necessary to stop them.  MasterImage 3D is also evaluating  their own legal remedies to counter RealD’s misuse of the UM patent.
 
MasterImage 3D filed and has been granted several invention patent applications in Korea for their innovative technologies in 3D cinema systems.  This technology is the design for the HORIZON3D product-line.  This inventive patent application has been filed in Russia based on Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) procedures.  RealD’s utility model in question was filed after that of MasterImage 3D’s invention patent application.
