<p>Vizio has still not provided CCS for their televisions to SFC, and so our lawsuit continues.  Instead, Vizio <a href="/blog/2021/dec/28/vizio-update-1/">attempted to &ldquo;remove&rdquo;</a> the case to federal court (arguing that copyright claims <em>preempted</em> our third-party beneficiary contract claim).  We <a href="/news/2022/may/16/vizio-remand-win/">succeeded in our motion to remand the case back to state court</a>; the federal judge <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.837808/gov.uscourts.cacd.837808.30.0.pdf">agreed that our case included an &ldquo;extra element&rdquo;</a> not covered by copyright.</p>
 

	
 
<p>After several months of litigation back in state court, Vizio <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/2023-4-28 VIZIOs Motion for Summary Judgment with Reservation.pdf">filed for</a> <a href="/copyleft-compliance/glossary.html#summary-judgment">summary judgment</a> in the state court <em>again</em> 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 is the first time Vizio has tried to attack these claims substantively.Currently, we are awaiting the judge's ruling on Vizio's motion for summary judgment.</p>
