Amazon’s “View Your Room” Feature at Issue in Empire IP Plaintiff’s Latest Complaint

Amazon (2:25-cv-00729) is the latest defendant to be added to the sole litigation campaign of AR Design Innovations, LLC, a plaintiff associated with Texas monetization firm Empire IP LLC. In the new Eastern District of Texas complaint, the plaintiff asserts a single patent generally related to a client that retrieves a 3D model from a server and then allows the manipulation and placement of the model within a 3D scene to produce a photorealistic rendered image that includes certain “luminosity characteristics”. Amazon is accused of infringement through the provision of its mobile app, which supports the “View Your Room” augmented reality (AR) feature.
