ARRI, Rotolight settle patent lawsuits

ARRI no longer contests the validity of Rotolight’s patents over its special effects CineSFX patent portfolio in the US, UK and Europe

ARRI and Rotolight have reached a settlement over Rotolight’s cinematic special effects CineSFX patent portfolio in the US, UK, and Europe.

The agreement means that ARRI no longer contests the validity of Rotolight’s patents and has withdrawn its Inter Partes Review in the United States.

Rotolight has withdrawn its US District patent court action against ARRI.

All ARRI products will continue to be offered as always, said the two companies, with both respecting intellectual property and value fair competition.

Speaking about the settlement, Rod Aaron Gammons, CEO of Rotolight said: We are pleased to have reached a settlement with ARRI, and shall continue to take all steps necessary to protect our intellectual property from ongoing infringement.

“In so doing, this will allow us to continue to invest in bringing industry-first innovations to market. Any other infringing companies should now proactively approach Rotolight directly, to secure a licensing agreement on reasonable commercial terms. ”
