Source excerpt
Chinese augmented reality headset company Nreal is being sued by Epic Games, developer of Fortnite and Unreal Engine.
If you hadn't guessed already, the squabble is over the name Nreal, which Epic Games argues is deliberately similar to its own Unreal (thanks, The Verge).
It claims the company's name "looks and sounds virtually identical" to Unreal and said that was "no coincidence."
