CLO Virtual Fashion Settles 3D Garment Patent Suit
CLO Virtual Fashion and Style3D resolved a U.S. patent suit over 3D garment-design software.
Key points
- Style3D's parent admitted that the accused software infringed three asserted patents.
- The same party admitted that the patents are valid and enforceable.
- Other settlement terms remain confidential.
Why it matters
Fashion software is now a patent battlefield. A public admission of infringement and validity can matter as much as the confidential dollars attached to a settlement.
