<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 &mdash; which was the first time Vizio has tried to attack these claims substantively).  On 29 December 2023, the judge <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/Order_Denying_Vizio_Motion_for_Summary_Judgement_12-29-23.pdf"><strong>denied</strong> Vizio's motion for summary judgment</a>.  </p>
 

	
 
<p>On 1 December 2023, SFC filed
 
a <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/software-freedom-conservancy-v-vizio_2023-12-01_SFC-Motion-Summary-Adjudication.pdf">motion
 
for summary adjudication</a>.</p>
 

	
 
<p>The case is currently set for trial to begin on July 22, 2024.</p>
 
<p>The case's expected trial date is later in 2024.</p>
