R2Sonic legal case FAQ
1. Why has RESON initiated this case against R2Sonic?

2. Who is named in the litigation?

3. What are the charges?
RESON has identified three causes of action against R2Sonic that relate to the improper use of or the illicit obtaining of RESON proprietary information for use in the development of its products and for use in the marketing and sales of its products. We have also identified violations of RESON’s Trade Dress and Trademarks.
4. Where is the case filed?
The case is filed in California in Santa Barbara County Superior Court.
5. When will the litigation go to trial?
As with all litigation, it is a matter of procedure and process that can take an unknown amount of time. Such cases normally are settled within one year from filing but are fully dependent upon matters found during the Discovery process. It is therefore not possible to indicate a specific timeline for the case.
6. Was there an attempt at Mediation?
RESON made multiple attempts to address its concerns directly with R2Sonic via formal means and R2Sonic has chosen not to reply to any such requests. All reasonable efforts were exhausted prior to taking this legal action.
7. Why do you believe that R2Sonic has infringed on your proprietary information?
The details of the case cannot be publicly divulged as the case is ongoing. However, RESON has ample reason to believe that its charges are well founded and well considered and we believe the court will ultimately find this to be true.
8. What is R2Sonic’s response to the litigation?
Naturally RESON cannot speak on behalf of R2Sonic and as is their right they will naturally maintain a position of “innocent until proven guilty”. We anticipate that they will not openly admit to any wrong doing and will claim that our assertions are unfounded, as would any defendant. RESON maintains that our claims are well founded and that all statements, rumours, or claims made in the general public forum are not relevant to the case or its findings and we cannot comment either way. All claim for or against will need to be litigated during the legislative process and the finding of the court will be final.
9. Are RESON or R2Sonic planning to settle outside of Court?
RESON will pursue the litigation in its own interests as will R2Sonic. No statements as to the outcome can be made in advance. RSON has every intention of protecting its rights in this matter.
10. Is RESON seeking an injunction in this case?
Yes, RESON is seeking an injunction against R2Sonic due to the nature of the claims. RESON believes that its claims are well founded and that the pursuit of business by R2Sonic based on a violation of RESON’s intellectual property rights is improper. RESON will present its case and leave to the court the decision as to whether an injunction is justified in the eyes of the court.
