Company profile

Company overview. Facebook Technologies, LLC is a Delaware limited-liability company headquartered in Menlo Park, California. It was formed in 2018 when Meta Platforms (then Facebook Inc.) folded Oculus VR into a single hardware-focused legal entity supporting the Oculus and Portal product lines. Now known as Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META), the public social-media and technology parent with roughly 70,000+ employees and about $200 billion in annual revenue.

Products / operations. Facebook Technologies is the operating entity behind Meta's hardware and immersive-tech businesses, which the parent reports under its Reality Labs segment. Its product lines have included the Oculus/Quest virtual-reality headset family (Rift, Go, Quest), Portal video-calling displays, and AR/smart glasses developed with EssilorLuxottica (Ray-Ban Meta). It is an operating company with real products, not an NPE.

Patent-litigation posture. The case data show an operating company being attacked: 0 appearances as plaintiff and 1 as defendant. In the tracked suit, Facebook Technologies was named alongside parent Meta Platforms and affiliates Instagram, WhatsApp, and Giphy in a patent-infringement complaint filed by VideoLabs, Inc. and VL Collective IP LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware — a single case, not the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas.

Notable case. The case is VideoLabs, Inc. v. Meta Platforms, Inc. et al. (D. Del., filed May 24, 2022). VideoLabs is a patent-licensing firm that assembled video-technology patents acquired from companies such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Siemens, and Panasonic. The complaint alleged infringement across Meta's video services and hardware, targeting H.264/CAVLC video coding, WebRTC audio-video transmission, and object-detection technology such as the Detectron2 library used in Portal. The court dismissed VideoLabs' claims against Meta with prejudice in October 2025, closing the case.
