Will Meta face legal penalties in the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses lawsuit?

Smart-glasses developer Solos Technology has filed a U.S. lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in damages and a potential injunction against Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, alleging patent infringement tied mainly to the first-generation Wayfarer model. Solos claims Meta and EssilorLuxottica had long-standing access to its proprietary smart-glasses technologies and that newer models continue to rely on those patents. The case lands as smart-glasses demand accelerates and Meta scales production, making the legal stakes unusually high. While patent suits are common, injunctions against consumer hardware are rare and typically require clear, validated infringement—something Meta is likely to contest aggressively.
