In a developing legal battle, smart glasses manufacturer Solos has filed a lawsuit against Meta and EssilorLuxottica, alleging that their Ray-Ban smart glasses infringe upon existing patents held by Solos. This lawsuit comes as a response to the growing competition in the augmented reality eyewear market, with Solos claiming that both the initial and current iterations of Meta's smart glasses incorporate patented technologies without permission.

According to a reported article (subscription required), Solos asserts that the first generation of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses was created using its patented concepts. The company insists that this infringement continues with the release of the second generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses and the Meta Ray-Ban Display model, which further utilizes Solos' proprietary technology.
