ZeniMax Settles with Facebook in Oculus Lawsuit

Gamesindustry.biz reports that ZeniMax and Facebook have finally settled their long-running lawsuit over Oculus technology. As a reminder, the trouble started when John Carmack left ID for Oculus in 2013. ZeniMax sued shorty after that, claiming that Carmack and Oculus stole some of ID’s intellectual property, and things went south from there.



A federal judge yesterday granted the pair’s joint motion to dismiss their appeals in the case after they reached a settlement through the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals mediation program. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed. “We are pleased that a settlement has been reached and are fully satisfied by the outcome,” ZeniMax chairman and CEO Robert Altman said. “While we dislike litigation, we will always vigorously defend against any infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property by third parties.”
