On April 29, 2008, FullView, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Microsoft, Corp., claiming Microsoft’s RoundTable conferencing product infringes on its patent covering a camera system that creates 360-degree videos.
FullView also claims Microsoft knew about its patent in 2003, the year before FullView was awarded the patent in March 2004. In its own patent application filed in 2002, Microsoft cites FullView’s patent.
In its lawsuit, FullView requests the court require Microsoft to stop selling RoundTable and award FullView triple damages.
Vic Nalwa, president of FullView, said he devised the original camera while working for Bell Labs in 1995, and co-founded FullView in 2000.
