Jury awards $500 million to ZeniMax in lawsuit against Oculus Rift
  • 7 years ago
The lawsuit between ZeniMax and Oculus VR has ended very badly for Oculus. Polygon reports that a jury has found that Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey violated his non-disclosure agreement with ZeniMax, and has awarded ZeniMax $500 million as a result. Oculus was notably found not guilty on charges related to claims by ZeniMax that the company stole trade secrets to create the Rift headset, Polygon reports. Reached for comment shortly after the verdict, Oculus said they will be appealing, but that they look forward to eventually putting the case behind them. “The heart of this case was about whether Oculus stole ZeniMax's trade secrets, and the jury found decisively in our favor,” an Oculus spokesperson told Polygon.
