According to someone who actually checked the Patent Office records this is a Sony Group sale of XR (ie enterprise) related stuff. The separate VR ones remain registered to Playstation.

I don’t think there’s a future for PSVR but this itself doesn’t seem to be the funeral.

The good thing is, PSVR 2 seems (?) from what I've seen, to be at an acceptable quality that they can just keep supporting that going forward. They can always optimise the software and use the console hardware to help improve image quality as well.
 
At least those of us that have one will have some form of novelty for as long as the PS5/PS5P can run.

Guess I better just accept the Music Rally and Family modes.
