It looks like at least one round of the battle between Funai and VIZIO is drawing to a close, and it’s a large win for VIZIO.

With the USPTO and US Customs now on the same page, all the bureaucratic checkmarks are in place and VIZIO TVs can freely enter the US on their immigrant-inspired journey to homes all across this fair land.
