The legal battles between Oculus and ZeniMax recently reach some kind of conclusion when a jury awarded the gaming company $500 million after it was found that former employees used stolen codes to create the products. Not content with the outcome ZeniMax is now filing an injunction on Oculus, which would effectively stop all sales of the Rift headset if it pulls through.
The injunction was filed in a Dallas court last Thursday, which is the same court that awarded ZeniMax with the win in its recent clash against Oculus, Reuters reports. The gaming company is asking a Federal judge to halt the sales of all Rift units as long as Oculus is using the stolen codes that it got from Palmer Luckey when Facebook bought the company.
According to Oculus spokesperson, Tera Randall, the injunction was "legally flawed and factually unwarranted." As a result, they are now asking the judge to simply throw the case aside. The legal counsel for ZeniMax declined to provide any comments.
Along with the Rift itself, there are also some games that are using the stolen codes in order to make them work with the VR headset. If the injunction should go through, those titles will also be removed from the market. The result will be fewer choices for Rift owners, substantially damaging the reputation of Oculus and costing billions in losses.
Considering the past victory that ZeniMax got from the jurors in the same Dallas court that it filed the injunction in, Oculus is in a huge bind. If it comes to it, Facebook might have to make a settlement just to get it over with and continue selling its VR product, Tech Times reports. The social media company is already set to lose $500 million, but the longer it is tied up in court, the more money it will bleed.
