Facebook Technologies, LLC is the Menlo Park, California–based hardware and extended-reality subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META). The entity traces to Oculus VR, LLC, acquired by Facebook in 2014; it was renamed Facebook Technologies, LLC in September 2018 and later became Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC, a change confirmed in court filings. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meta, organized as a Delaware LLC with its principal place of business at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA. No separate financials are reported for the subsidiary.
Operationally, the entity is the core of Meta's Reality Labs segment. Its product lines include the Meta Quest line of VR/mixed-reality headsets (Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro), Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and other AR/wearables work, the Horizon Worlds social VR platform, and Oculus Studios content (including the Supernatural fitness app). Ray-Ban Meta and Quest devices drove the segment's roughly $2.1 billion in 2024 revenue against an operating loss of about $17.7 billion; Reality Labs has been reported at roughly 15,000 employees within Meta's ~74,000-person workforce. These are segment-level figures, not entity-specific.
Litigation posture: an operating company defending, not asserting. The tracked data shows zero plaintiff cases and one defendant case, consistent with a large hardware/software maker being targeted rather than an entity monetizing patents. The single tracked matter was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware — not a plaintiff-friendly Texas venue.
Notable case: VideoLabs, Inc. et al. v. Meta Platforms, Inc. et al. (D. Del., filed May 24, 2022, C.A. No. 1:22-cv-00680). Plaintiffs VideoLabs, Inc. and VL Collective IP LLC / VL IP asserted five patents concerning video coding (H.264) and real-time data transmission against Meta and subsidiaries including Facebook Technologies, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Giphy. VideoLabs is a licensing entity that acquired its portfolio from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Siemens AG, and Panasonic and offers membership-based portfolio access; the court records note the Meta defendants were not members of that platform.
