History of Vizio Case

On October 19, 2021, SFC filed a third-party beneficiary contract lawsuit against Vizio in California State Court in Orange County, CA. Our complaint demands no financial compensation but instead asks for what truly matters with regard to software rights and freedom: the “specific performance” (fulfilling a contract requirement in exactly the way the contract specifies) of production of complete, corresponding source code (CCS) — as defined in the various GPL Agreements (such as GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1).

After several months of litigation back in state court, Vizio filed for summary judgment in the state court again arguing copyright preemption. The state court is not bound by the federal court's ruling against preemption, so Vizio was able to essentially re-argue its motion to dismiss. (Vizio also argued that the GPL Agreements have no third-party beneficiaries — which was the first time Vizio has tried to attack these claims substantively). On 29 December 2023, the judge denied Vizio's motion for summary judgment.
