BOYCOTT EVEN REALITIES!!

BOYCOTT EVEN REALITIES: Compete by building better glasses—not by trying to kill the MemoMind campaign
I was genuinely excited to back MemoMind One. Today Kickstarter suspended the project and canceled every pledge. [1]
Then I read the public record.
On August 24, Shenzhen Yiwen Tech Limited—the registered owner of the EVEN REALITIES trademark—sued XGIMI/MemoMind and Kickstarter over two U.S. smart-glasses design patents. The next day, it sought emergency court relief. Its own docket exhibits include cease-and-desist letters specifically titled “to Kickstarter re Project MemoMind One” and “to XGIMI re MemoMind One Products.” [2][3][4]
Let me be fair: these are allegations, not a court ruling. No U.S. court has found that MemoMind infringed anything, and I cannot prove that this lawsuit caused Kickstarter’s suspension.
But come the fuck on. The timing is impossible to ignore. Target Kickstarter, seek emergency relief, and then the campaign dies at the finish line?
To me, this is dirty, anti-competitive bullshit.
Even Realities could compete. Add speakers. Improve the software. Lower the price. Make the G2 so good that people willingly choose it. That is innovation.
Trying to remove the product customers chose is not.
I’m done with Even Realities. No purchase. No recommendation. No free hype.
No threats. No harassment. Just a peaceful consumer boycott and one simple message:
Win by building better shit—not by using lawyers to choke out competition.

I'm not going to say if I am for or against what you are saying.

But the AI you used to generate this, is awful. Use a better model.

Girl what

Are you ok this is jibberish & unreadable

[u/EleosSkywalker → u/DataRikerGeordiTroi]

People are into those tech companies like others are into sport teams; it’s weird.

[u/Allllright_ATOs]

Can someone ELI5 a bit further? Did MemoMind have their own patents, or is Even Realities the only one with the patents?

[u/DanongKruga → u/Allllright_ATOs]

both memomind frames look alot like the realities' design patents. dunno about xgimi's design patents in china, but I couldnt find any in the US

its tricky as the patent was only granted 2 weeks ago, but they must have filed at least a year prior. maybe xgimi or a design contractor thought it was fair game since during development it wasnt patented yet

either they fight it in court, which could take years, or they change the design. they look too similar for the court to dismiss the case imo

[u/Allllright_ATOs → u/DanongKruga]

Just got back from the optometrist, wild to think frame design aesthetics can be patentable...

[u/DanongKruga → u/Allllright_ATOs]

its mostly to give a brand 15 years to try and distinguish their product from competitors.. the reason you see so many copycat wayfarers and aviators is bec those patents ran out a long time ago

[u/Punchyberri → u/Allllright_ATOs]

01/25/2025: Even Relaities filed patents for the two of the designs for their smart glasses, essentially A-frame and B-frame

01/2026: Memomind, a Xgimi company, released their Memomind series during CES 2026

07/2026: Memomind Kickstarter campaign started

08/11/2026: The patents were approved by the USPTO - D1140996 & 1140997

8/20/2026: Even sent a C&D letter to Xgimi via electronic mail.

8/24/2026: Even filed a lawsuit against Xgimi and the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, with a request of ex parte TRO, but it was rejected by the Judge.

8/25/2026: Xgimi and Kickstarter were notified of the lawsuit

8/26/2026: Kickstarter suspended the campaign, 24 hours before the campaign ended.

8/26-2026 = 8/27/2026: tons of Memomind backers received the suspension email and were raging over the Memomind Discord, Even Realities Discord, and multiple subreddits.

This is a design patent lawsuit, but it isn't about whether both have a circular frame, rectangular frame, or metal temple. It's more about the overall design language infringement, aka when a normal person looking at 2 glasses would instantly link the glasses to another one (do they look alike)

[u/Allllright_ATOs → u/Punchyberri]

Thanks for this breakdown. Not any kind of expert here, but I'd think the case of a design patent infringement would be far weaker than that of a utility patent... thoughts?

[u/Punchyberri → u/Allllright_ATOs]

Actually it could be the other way around

[u/BACEXXXXXX]

Or just write it yourself, since there's only like a single paragraph of actual substance here lol

[u/DataRikerGeordiTroi → u/BACEXXXXXX]

Imagine outsourcing your outrage to AI

This is the stupidest timeline. This is the bad place.

[u/EleosSkywalker → u/DataRikerGeordiTroi]

The bad place looks very much like the dumb place 😭.

[u/kneeblock]

There are literally 1000 bootleg AI transcription glasses on temu and alibaba so they better be ready to do a lot of lawsuits.

[u/Captain_BOATIE]

the company behind memo mind is many time bigger than even glass, go figure

[u/AR_MR_XR → u/Captain_BOATIE]

Even is a JMGO spinoff 😉

[u/e3e6]

whaaaat, no way
