XREAL Sues Viture in Texas Over AR Optics, Expanding Global Patent Fight

Analysts expect pressure on Viture’s partnerships with limited near-term effects for most buyers.

Overview

  • XREAL filed a patent infringement case in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging violations of U.S. Patent No. 11,988,839 covering core AR optical architecture.
  • The complaint targets Viture-branded models including the Viture Pro, Luma Pro, and Luma Ultra and names affiliates Eden Future HK Limited and Beijing Xingzhe Wujiang Technology Co., Ltd.
  • The U.S. action follows a November 13, 2025 preliminary injunction from Munich Regional Court I that restricted offering, sale, or import of certain Viture products in Germany, particularly the Viture Pro XR.
  • Viture has disputed the German ruling as unfounded and says it has appealed, while XREAL frames the litigation as protecting foundational innovations from alleged freeriding.
  • Industry analysts say outcomes could take months and may constrain Viture’s partnerships or future releases, with current U.S. consumer availability largely unchanged for now.
