Video games developer ZeniMax Media has attacked Facebook’s virtual reality company Oculus in a response to Oculus’s bid for a new IP trial. In April this year, WIPR reported that Oculus had sought to overturn a finding of copyright and trademark infringement and breach of a non-disclosure agreement by a Texas jury. Filed in 2014 at the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, ZeniMax’s suit alleged that Oculus had used its code to build the Rift headset. In February 2017, a jury awarded $500 million in damages to ZeniMax.
However, the jury found that Oculus was not guilty of misappropriating trade secrets. Two months later, Luckey, Iribe and chief technology officer John Carmack filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) and a motion for a partial new trial. On May 5, ZeniMax filed its responses to the request for a JMOL and a partial new trial.
