Utherverse Digital, Inc. sued Ubisoft, Inc. and Ubisoft Entertainment SA for patent infringement on June 18, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The docket carries case number 3:26-cv-06098 and is recorded as nature of suit 830 (patent), with the cause listed as patent infringement.

The complaint asserts two patents: U.S. Patent 10,528,129 (the ’129 patent) and U.S. Patent 9,977,495 (the ’495 patent), both titled “Immersive Displays.” Each asserted patent identifies Utherverse Digital Inc. as assignee, and the complaint describes the family as directed to reducing motion sickness and improving comfort in virtual-reality environments by rendering a stable, static visual reference into the user's field of view while the rest of the scene changes.

Plaintiff Utherverse owns a family of United States patents directed to reducing motion sickness and improving user comfort in virtual-reality (“VR”) and other immersive-display environments by rendering a stable, static visual reference—such as a virtual nose—into the user's field of view while the remainder of the displayed scene changes.

The complaint names two accused products: the VR title Assassin's Creed Nexus VR (the “Accused Assassin's Creed Nexus Product”) and the VR title Eagle Flight (the “Accused Eagle Flight Product”). It alleges Ubisoft makes, uses, tests, demonstrates, offers to sell, sells, distributes, and imports the VR software, and induces others to do so.

As to Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, the complaint alleges the title launched on November 16, 2023 for the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest Pro headsets, and that it implements a comfort feature Ubisoft itself calls a “virtual nose” — described in the pleading as a recreated, static virtual nose persisting in the field of view. For Eagle Flight, the complaint alleges the title renders a fixed eagle's beak in the lower portion of the view, which it maps to the same claimed static-reference concept.

The complaint pleads infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271 and alleges Ubisoft Entertainment SA directed and authorized the commercialization of the accused products, including through Ubisoft, Inc. The docket lists Utherverse Digital, Inc. as plaintiff and Ubisoft, Inc. and Ubisoft Entertainment S.A. as defendants. The complaint was signed by Gary Shuster of the Utherverse Digital legal department as counsel for the plaintiff.

This report reflects only the docket and the filed 57-page complaint. The allegations are unproven; no responsive pleading from the Ubisoft defendants appears on the mirror as of this writing, and the publicly available RECAP metadata does not list an assigned judge at the time of filing.
