U.S. To Pay Thales Visionix $10 Million To Settle Patent Rights Case Related To F-35 Helmet Tech

摘要

The U.S. government will pay $10 million to Thales Visionix under an agreement that resolves a patent rights infringement case related to helmet-mounted display systems (HMDS) developed for the F-35 program, according to the law firm representing Thales. Thales Visionix first sued the federal government in 2014 claiming unauthorized use of its patented technology in the F-35 helmets specifically related to the motion tracking capability using inertial sensors, according to a statement from the law firm AddyHart.
